Abstract: A technique for identifying virtual machines (VMs) in a VM system includes determining a configuration file location on a data store for the VM. A VM manager (for the VM) and an associated VM identification assigned to the VM (by the VM manager) are determined. A unique VM identification is then created based on the configuration file location on the data store, the VM manager, and the associated VM identification.
