Issue when copying vdi from one instance of Vbox to another

[dotnerdify]

When I copy a vdi file to a new computer with different virtualbox installation, and through python API I call

Code: Select all

IVirtualBox::openMedium(...)

if I set the parameter in

Code: Select all

boolean 	forceNewUuid

to True, the vdi assumes a new uuid in the xml files but the uuid embeded in the vdi doesn't change.

After a few boots of the VM, the VM stops booting, and Virtualbox delivers the message:

UUID of medium ... does not match the value {some-uuid-here] stored in the media registry {path_to_the_xml}

permissions are set rw to the vdi.

I suspect this is a bug?

Virtualbox Version 4.1.8.

As the forum name implies "Using VirtualBox" is a user forum, as a developer forum I doubt you will find it very satisfying. The "VirtualBox OSE" area seems to have become the defacto developer area, and there is also a developer mailing list.

I appreciate your directions! Will try those!

Thanks
