Change hostID of Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine installed by Virtual Box 4.1.12 on Windows-XP host
Trying to set or modify the randomly set hostID of a Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine that I installed on a Windows-XP host machine (using Virtual Box 4.1.12).
I was able to set/modify the hostname of the Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine during installation as well as via the Virtual Box command line interface (e.g., VBoxManage, etc.). However, nothing seems to be able to enable me to set/modify the random 8-hexdigit hostID value of the Solaris 10 virtual machine. I want to be able to execute the 'hostid' command from a terminal window on the Solaris 10 virtual machine and have it display a hostID value that I set.
Is there a way to set/modify the hostID value of a Solaris 10 virtual/guest machine that was installed by Virtual Box 4.1.12 (or potentially by any other virtual machine installation tool) on a Windows XP system ?

fence_zvm(8) System Manager's Manual fence_zvm(8)
NAME
fence_zvm - I/O Fencing agent for GFS on s390 and zSeries VM clusters
SYNOPSIS
fence_zvm [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_zvm is an I/O Fencing agent used on a GFS virtual machine in a s390 or zSeries VM cluster. It uses the s3270 program to log the
specified virtual machine out of VM. For fence_zvm to execute correctly, you must have s3270 in your PATH.
fence_zvm accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. fence_node sends the options through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_zvm can be run by itself with command line options which is useful for testing.

IP address or hostname of the Physical machine (required).
-h Print out a help message describing available options, then exit.
-u userid

-S path
Full path to an executable to generate the password of the virtual machine to fence.
-q quiet mode, no output.
