But what was acknowledged in this thread was that while you can construct
the "unique instance id" (location) of the virtual machine's execution
context using the above technique, you cannot use it to determine the
system id of the underlying VM system(s).
Whether you can use the former in place of the latter depends entirely
upon what you are trying to accomplish and what naming conventions you
have established.
