Running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.5 on Parallels 6.0.11992 on a Mac Mini running 10.6.5. When I try to run a Time Machine backup to an AFP volume, backupd crashes, leaving a remnant of the volume mounted in Server Admin, but not visible via hdiutil in Terminal. Here is the Console log of the Time Machine backup: 1/3/11 6:58:36 PM com.apple.backupd[1298] Starting standard backup 1/3/11 6:58:51 PM com.apple.backupd[1298] Attempting to mount network destination using URL: afp://user@mini._afpovertcp._tcp.local/HD 1/3/11 6:58:52 PM com.apple.backupd[1298] Mounted network destination using URL: afp://user@mini._afpovertcp._tcp.local/HD 1/3/11 6:58:52 PM com.apple.backupd[1298] Unable to determine UUID for host.

Any success in resolving this? I've got the same issue except much more rampant. Every 5-6 minutes I see this message: 1/28/11 9:14:44 PM Console[209] _CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host.

Error: 35 I am also having all kinds of weird problems, like Software Updating launching and telling me I have updates, and then quitting when I try and click the Update button. I have a Core i7 2010 iMac running Mac OS X Server 10.6.6. I reproduced this issue quite easily by just installing Snow Leopard Server and restarting.
Fix for Unable to Determine UUID for Host Ryan_M: The fix for me was two step: 1) Edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist to include the following: <dict> <key>BSD Name</key> <string>en3</string> <key>IOBuiltin</key> <false/> <key>IOInterfaceType</key> <integer>6</integer> <key>IOInterfaceUnit</key> <integer>3</integer> <key>IOLocation</key> <string></string> <key>IOMACAddress</key> <data> ABbPoF5V </data> <key>IOPathMatch</key> <string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/P0P3@1C,2/ IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci14e4,4311@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/IO80211Interface</string> <key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key> <string>IEEE80211</string> </dict> 2) Completely uninstall and then reinstall Parallels: http://kb.parallels.com/9087 Does it work? Larry Goldman
No, that didn't work for me. I tried changing the SystemConfiguration.plist file in both the virtual machine and the host Mac, and neither worked. I also uninstalled Parallels as suggested. I'm at a loss. I'm about ready to download the trial to VMWare and see how it goes.
Is there no traction on this issue? I just installed (and reinstalled) 6.0.12090.660720 on a number of environments and they all complained of the same issue. Google was of no help. I would be more then happy to do whatever I can to help solve this issue (though my trial expires in 9 days). I would very much like to know this is getting fixed before shelling out my own pocket money... so please.... can someone step in?
Update / Additional Information One rather strange tidbit is the following: The error message seems to only show for me when I am shell'd into the server (through ssh). The account is administrator, but not root. If I "sudo su" to the root account, then the error messages do not show. Also... if I am logged in through the parallels window, then it does not seem to show either.
