VMware GSX Server 2.5.2Features | Documentation | Knowledge Base | Discussion Forums To assign a specific UUID to a virtual machine that is not being moved, add one line to the configuration file. You need to use a text editor to edit the configuration file, located in your virtual machine's directory; the file has a .vmx extension on a Windows host and a .cfg extension on a Linux host. The format for the line is: uuid.bios = <uuidvalue> The UUID value must be surrounded by quotation marks. A sample configuration line might look like this: uuid.bios = "00 11 22 33 44 55 66 77-88 99 aa bb cc dd ee ff" After adding this line to the configuration file, restart the virtual machine. The new UUID is used when the virtual machine restarts. |
