How to check the uuid of a virtualbox vdi?
60,567
Solution 1
Run VBoxManage
and pass it showhdinfo
and your VDI:
VBoxManage.exe showhdinfo "c:\MyMachine.vdi"
Solution 2
VBoxManage list vms
will list the virtual machines and their uuids without having to know the path to the particular vdi.

How can I check the
uuid
of avdi
orvmdk
?There should be some command line on
VBoxManage
to show it.I know I read it some place in the docs, but now for some reason I can't find it...

RDT2 almost 10 yearsFor the record, I learned today this will also register the VDI if it wasn't already registered. This was great as I had just rebuilt my host machine after a crash and had to setup virtualbox all over again. I couldn't figure out how to register them, so I used this command to get the UUID so I could find the right VDI that I was missing and as a by product it registered it for me!
