Does libvirt abstract each and any vm specific command?
Hello, my project still uses VBoxManage but I am inclined to switch to libvirt, if possible, because I like the concept. Some rather unusual commands are used by my project... VBoxManage modifyvm "$VMNAME" --synthcpu on VBoxManage setextradata "$VMNAME" "VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled...

Migrate existing Windows XP VirtualBox VM to Xen
...39;'m trying to migrate a VirtualBox virtual machine to Xen, but I haven''t been able to successfully boot it under xen (3.0.1 that comes with CentOS 5.5). Thinking that the problem was converting the disk format to a raw format, I tried converting the VDI disk with all these options: VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw disk.vdi disk.raw VBoxManage clonehd disk.vdi disk.raw --format RAW and booting the VM with a live cd and doing a: dd if=/dev/hda | ssh user@host ''cat > disk.raw'' And using the following xen configuration: name = "WindowsXP" uuid =...

Vmware - Slightly off topic
...it. VM-as-code if you > will. This results in a reproducible thing instead of an unmanageable thing. I'm doing this sort of thing, and frankly, VMware Converter would be my last choice. One project uses packer, the other, a combination of shell scripts, genisoimage, and Virtualbox's vboxmanage.? Both projects build a VM and export it to an OVA.? Example usage, these are great for creating new VMs from the CentOS rolling ISOs. As for getting the OVA into vSphere's inventory, I'm using Powershell (Ansible's VMware support wasn't so great when I was working on the proje...

headless VirtualBox on Centos
Awesome! Thanks for your replies everybody. I was looking more or less at the same options. Just was wondering if there was a ready-made set of scripts somewhere to set all of this in motion to save me a little time - but if not, I will just make one. Cheers, Boris.

CentOS 6.5 VirtualBox
Hi Is anyone here using VirtualBox? I've had it working rather well for some time, but after some recent upgrade or the other it's started exiting with a Segmentation fault just after startup, before windows are opened or anything. I've tried a few different versions, all with the same result. I'm using binary packages http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el. So,

VirtualBox headless
...te and revert snapshots). Isn't there one simple way to run a virtual machine domain headless without vnc, spice or rdp servers? If not, which could be going wrong in my xml configuration? To help understanding of my desired behavior, what I need is to do through virsh what can be done using *VBoxManage startvm THEDOMAIN --headless* or *VBoxHeadless startvm THEDOMAIN*, because will use other hypervisors in the future, so it is a critical thing to me.

Please warn a home user against OpenSolaris under VirtualBox under WinXP ; )
Pardon in advance my n00b ignorance. (Yes I have googled a [i]lot[/i] before asking.) I am considering VirtualBoxing away one physical machine at home, and running WinXP as host (yes, as atrocious it may seem, explanation below [1]) and OpenSolaris guest as file server, with OpenSolaris (why?[2]) having raw access to all my SATA drives.

VirtualBox driver : creating storage for a new machine

Has anybody used this approach successfully ? Otherwise I assume that I have to create the VDI files manually using VirtualBox GUI/VBoxManage or vboxshell.py. Thanks in advance, Regards, Christian

Import/Export Support
Hello, I'm looking into using libvirt in the near future, however an important part of our workflow is the ability to import and export virtual machines (in VirtualBox). Does libvirt provide an easy way to do this? I couldn't find anything obvious on the API reference. Thanks, Mitchell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

virtualbox, lvextend, etc.
I'm using virtualbox with one of the tests I have for centos 6.4. I realized after creating the disk, the default was too small. I added more disk space with: VBoxManage modifyhd /Users/user/VirtualBox\ VMs/centos\ 6.x/centos\ 6.x.vdi --resize 25000 I then used this site to help me resize the lvm: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/2768-extending-lvm-partition-with-free-space-from-the-same-hdd-or-with-a-new-partition-from-a-new-hdd-on-centos but when I...

Using Solaris iSCSI target in VirtualBox iSCSI Initiator

VirtualBox on CentOS 6.0?
I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work

Shared Folders
Good afternoon. I am having trouble trying to set up shared folders in the guest VM using VirtualBox hypervisor. No matter what configuration is defined in my XML, it never works, I mean, no shared folder is added/specifyed, then, inside the guest, when I try to mount the folder, I always get a protocol error. If I use VirtualBoxManage, I can add/specify shared folders easily and mount it with
