Lock Host UUID

A hardware change usually results in the change of the host UUID. If you do not want to change the host UUID, you can lock the host UUID.

• To lock the host UUID on Windows, you must create a string value LockHostUUID with value “1”, under the registry key HKLM\Software\ComputerAssociates\HostUUID.
• To lock the host UUID on Linux or UNIX, create a file named /etc/calockuuid.
