Update VirtualBox VM UUID
by wagscat123 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N8ZQ)
Hi all,
I keep trying to add a *.vbox file packaged with a *.vmdk virtual machine. When I add to add that VM to my VirtualBox, I get the error:
Code: Trying to open a VM config '/Users/jrsharp3/Documents/vm_share/WISP_1.3.0/WISP_1.3.0.vbox' which has the same UUID as an existing virtual machine.
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
even if I run the command Code:VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid on it.
How can I fix this? I added a version of the machine in already, but modified it. I want to have both the modified and unmodified version in VirtualBox
