How can I check the uuid of a vdi or vmdk?
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...

Run the command on CLI, to find the UUID of the SR and the VDI you just created: xe vdi-list name-label=test. Run the command on CLI: xe vdi-forget uuid=<uuid of VDI you just did the list in Step 1. c>. Check the XenCenter Storage tab to ensure that the VDI appears.
The UUID is generated when you power on or reset the virtual machine. As long as you do not move or copy the virtual machine to another location, the UUID remains constant. Fore more read the documentation. You can use: VBoxManage list vms. to list all currently registered VMs with their settings, names and UUIDs.
Open up the Command Prompt. In both Windows 8 and Windows 7, it can be found by typing “cmd” into the Start Menu search box. If everything worked, you should see a message saying “UUID change to: …” and then the VirtualBox should work. All fixed!
Run VBoxManage and pass it showhdinfo and your VDI:
VBoxManage.exe showhdinfo "c:\MyMachine.vdi" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
