UUID

Post by Arulx Z »

When I create a Virtual Machine in command line using the following command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage createvm -name <VM's Name> -register
It returns:

Code: Select all

Virtual machine <VM's Name> is created and registered.
UUID: zas8d62g-****-****-****-************
Settings file: '/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/<VM NAME>/<VM NAME>.vbox'
What does UUID mean? Is it used to identify and reference virtual machine?
