Vboxmanage修改uuid报错的解决办法

我的环境：

Virtualbox 4.3.10 r93012

操作系统：win7

 

问题：Virtualbox在使用拷贝的虚拟盘时会提示uuid冲突：

Because a hard disk with uuid ‘’ already exists.

 

 

 

按照网上的说法，运行VBoxManage修改uuid报错：

D:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage  internalcommands sethduuid D:\vm\

rac1\model.vdi

VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!

VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057) - One or more arguments ar

e invalid (extended info not available)

VBoxManage.exe: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or

failed to start.

 

 

解决办法：

将vboxmanage修改为以兼容模式运行这个程序即可，如下图：

 

重新运行命令即可：

D:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage  internalcommands sethduuid D:\vm\

rac1\model.vdi

UUID changed to: f52953fb-b3d1-400c-b345-dc4de6acaf75

现在VBOX版本是5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.6.2)

这个版本下只执行命令修改uuid已经不行了：

C:\Users\mipeng>"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands sethduuid "E:\vm\oel6_12c\oel6NewVirtualDisk2.vdi"
UUID changed to: f9bbef07-c078-4df0-9869-6f27bddf9156

执行完这个命令后，*.vbox中的uuid并没有被修改过来，打开虚拟机还是有之前的报错，

解决办法是：

手动修改*.vbox，在HardDisks和AttachedDevice配置中人为修改uuid为新生成的uuid:

<HardDisks>
        <HardDisk uuid="{1ed029bd-6631-414d-bbf7-87c84cfd3fd3}" location="D:/oel6/Oel6.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{589cc483-9399-4ff2-b2f8-2a79a8b488a2}" location="oel6NewVirtualDisk1.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{43ecfec8-74d4-4160-9989-316ad3dbb0cc}" location="oel6NewVirtualDisk2.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{d0699e37-eae5-4e58-8cff-e9bff9f5dd2f}" location="NewVirtualDisk1.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{747e4a36-f03a-43a0-b079-ad728fa2aa60}" location="rootdisk1.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{9ce0bb1e-bc11-4513-a4e9-c1d557d31a31}" location="data2disk2.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
        <HardDisk uuid="{0fd10014-ddfe-440f-a1a4-e284f61e47cf}" location="D:/oel6/rootdisk1.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
      </HardDisks>

 

<AttachedDevice type="HardDisk" hotpluggable="false" port="0" device="0">
          <Image uuid="{1ed029bd-6631-414d-bbf7-87c84cfd3fd3}"/>
        </AttachedDevice>
