#14350 closed defect (fixed)
The --setuuid switch of `vboxmanage storageattach` is broken in vbox 5 => Fixed in SVN
| Reported by: | martyone | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | virtual disk | Version: | VirtualBox 5.0.0 |
| Keywords: | storage uuid | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | other | Host type: | other |
Description
When passed an empty argument, it sets a null uuid instead of a random one, making the disk image unusable.
$ vboxmanage storageattach MyVM --storagectl SATA --port 1 --medium \
~/VirtualBox\ VMs/MyVM/MyVM.vdi --type hdd --setuuid ""
Note: vboxmanage internalcommands sethduuid works well; as a workaround the two commands can be combined, omitting the --setuuid switch of storageattach.
