| # virtualbox gives a "disk with same UUID is already mounted" error when trying to launch | |
| # multiple virtual machines using VDI files of a same osboxes images. | |
| # to avoid this error we can set uuid of the virtual disk as follows | |
| > cd /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/Resources/VirtualBoxVM.app/Contents/MacOS/ | |
| > VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid <full path to the vdi file> | |
| You should receive a message like below confirming the new uuid | |
| UUID changed to: 98axxxxxx-f0xx-420x-9179-a33805xxxx | |
| Once this is done, we can mount the vdi file without any issues |
