Re: After converting a virtual machine using VMware converter the new virtual machine does not have a unique UUID.bios please help how to troubleshoot that.

Hi , here is the procedure to manually change the UUID:

Note: This method is not recommended. If possible, use the UUIDScript.plto change duplicated UUID numbers.

1. Power off the virtual machine whose UUID you are going to change.
2. Edit the virtual machine’s configuration file (.vmx ). Use a text editor of your choice.
3. Search the file for the line:
   uuid.bios = <uuidvalue>
4. Enter the new UUID in this format. Include the quotation marks.
   uuid.bios = "00 11 22 33 44 55 66 77-88 99 aa bb cc dd ee ff"
   The UUID is a 128-bit integer. The 16 bytes of this value are created by using 16 hexadecimal digit pairs. Each digit in the pair can have any value between 0 to f (the digits of the hexadecimal number system), for example 1e, 87 or d3. These pairs are separated by spaces, except for a dash between the eighth and ninth hexadecimal pairs. The UUID is generally based on the physical computer's identifier and the path to the virtual machine's configuration file.
5. Save and close the configuration file.
6. Power on the virtual machine.
   

The new UUID is used when the virtual machine boots.
