1) If you were running ESXi 4.1, that bit of re-configuration consists of
shut down your virtual machine
right-click the VM’s entry in the left-hand panel and select Edit Settings
click the Options tab
Select the Advanced -> General item on the left and click the Configuration Parameters… button you then see displayed on the right
Click the Add Row button
Add disk.EnableUUID as the name of the new row, and the word TRUE as its value (don’t use quotation marks around either of these entries).
Click OK to make the new parameter addition ‘stick’.
You can then reboot your virtual machine.
2) Incase of VMware Workstation we have to do it manually using a text editor. Open vmware configuration file as mentioned bellow
First, find the directory where the files representing your virtual machine are stored. One of them will be called the name of your VM,
with an extension of .vmx. In my case, for example, the file is called OEL6.vmx, because when I created my VM, I called it “OEL6?. The file will be 3 or 4KB in size.
Open it in the text editor of your choice and at the very end of the file, add this line:
disk.EnableUUID = "TRUE"
shut down your virtual machine
right-click the VM’s entry in the left-hand panel and select Edit Settings
click the Options tab
Select the Advanced -> General item on the left and click the Configuration Parameters… button you then see displayed on the right
Click the Add Row button
Add disk.EnableUUID as the name of the new row, and the word TRUE as its value (don’t use quotation marks around either of these entries).
