guest export/clone and hostid
Does anyone know how I can copy a guest for installation on another machine and have the copied guest use a different hostid?
Re: guest export/clone and hostid
Hostid?? what do you mean with that? the VBox uuid? that can be changed with the CLI tools.

Re: guest export/clone and hostid
By hostid I mean the numeric identifier of the guest as reported by the guest (opensolaris) hostid command.
User Commands hostid(1)
NAME
hostid - print the numeric identifier of the current host
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/hostid
DESCRIPTION
The hostid command prints the identifier of the current host
in hexadecimal. This numeric value is likely to differ when
hostid is run on a different machine.

Ah that id well if you can't change it from the VM then use a hexeditor on the VDI.
