  • Recommendations on unmount parititons of active VM in order to change UUIDs?

    Posted on

    I'm trying to speed up our deployment of RHEL VMs, as we use vCenter. So I've created a VM, converted it to a template and then spin clones off of that.

    Of course we have to change the UUIDs for any of the partitions that fall under LVN.

    My question is how do I unmount these partitions while the VM is up and running in order to change the UUIDs? I always seem to run into something running that won't allow me to unmount.

    IMO, it almost easier to create a new VM from scratch Vs trying to umount partitions and update UUIDs.
