i need to setup some VMs with Linux and each VM should represent an unique one (MAC,UUID,CPUID).
In Windows its easy - i setup a VM and then i clone this VM with new MAC and use the VolumeID to change it.
But Linux is it not so easy.
I setup my VM and the first one is unique.
The i clone the VM and got a copy of the first one.
I run to check BLKID:
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1: UUID="MyUUID" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID=MyPartUUID"
So i attach gparted live iso and boot from it.
I change there the UUID but then if i try to startup Linux again the old UUID is not found anny more from VirtualBox.
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1: UUID="MyNewUUID" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID=myPartUUID"
I read a lot of posts regarding that stuff but the `"c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands sethduuid "c:\vm\Linuxvm.vdi"` seems to generate only a path related UUID or?
Actually i think the only way is to setup everytime a new VM or?
Thanks a lot for you help!
