Is there a tool / command to do this?  I've hit this problem in the 
past: I have multiple FreeBSD VMs that are all created from the same 
template and if one dies I can't import its zpool into another because 
they have the same UUID.

It doesn't matter for modern deployments where the VM is stateless and 
reimaged periodically but it's annoying for classic deployments where I 
have things I care about on the VM.
