Solution for modifying uuid in Vboxmanage: vboxmanageuuid

Solution for modifying uuid in Vboxmanage: vboxmanageuuid

My environment:

Virtualbox 4.3.10 r93012

Operating System: win7

 

Problem: a uuid conflict is prompted when Virtualbox uses the copied Virtual Disk:

Because a hard disk with uuid ''already exists.

 

 

According to the Internet, run VBoxManage to modify the uuid and report the following error:

D: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox> VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid D: \ vm \

Rac1 \ model. vdi

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!

VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)-One or more arguments ar

E invalid (extended info not available)

VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or

Failed to start.

 

 

Solution:

Modify vboxmanage to run this program in compatible mode, for example:

Run the following command again:

D: \ Program Files \ Oracle \ VirtualBox> VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid D: \ vm \

Rac1 \ model. vdi

UUID changed to: f52953fb-b3d1-400c-b345-dc4de6acaf75

How does Vbox change the uuid of a virtual machine?

Modify the hard disk ID of the virtual system! You 'd better create a new virtual system and copy the VHD file of the virtual system to another place for backup. Upgrade the VBOX and directly overwrite and install it without uninstalling it. The original virtual system has no problems at all.
 
VirtualBox change UUID [EXPERIENCE]

1. Run cmd to enter the command
2. Use cd d: \ ** to enter the installation directory (d: \ ** indicates the installation directory)

3. Enter the following command: VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid d :\**\**\. vdi (d :\**\**\. vdi indicates the location where the vdi file is stored. In this way, the UUID value of the original VID is changed, and the vdi can be started normally.
