similar to: kvm to virtualbox

hello,I 've deployed libvirt, and it is OK to use kvm.But when I use virtualbox,I can not attach a device to a domain. It reports the error that can't get device from device.xml here is my xml file for device(device.xml): <disk type='block'> <driver name='phy'/> <source dev="/home/lb/iscsitest/vdisk.img"/>

Any Virtualbox on CentOS guru's out there? I only have 1 VM on my linux host. in the update process to virtualbox 6.1.16 my config was lost. When I run Virtualbox my VM does not show. So I desire to add it back. My structure is this. ls -l /home/silentm/vmware/CentOS\ 64-bit\ LSI/ -rw------- 1 silentm silentm 8684 Aug 13 08:31 CentOS 64-bit LSI.nvram -rw-r--r-- 1 silentm silentm 0 Feb 27

The current test for .vdi files is incorrect. It tries to detect the string "<<< Sun xVM VirtualBox Disk Image >>>". However this string is just free text and .vdi files often contain different strings (ref: [1]). The correct test in this patch looks for the magic number at offset 0x40 in the file (ref: [2]). Example: Upstream 'file' without the patch on an

My objective is also to run headless virtual machines through libvirt library. I am using an Ubuntu 10.04 distro and libvirt 0.9.2. Before asking you guys about it, I searched on the web and found this: Hi, > > thanks for your hint. > > I read the lines in the documentation, but unfortunately editing the xml > > within virsh lead to the errors. > > The Solution to a

Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

Hi, I am new to v2v/libguestfs. I need to convert a 30 GB virtual machine running Windows7 64 bit (a guest on a Linux system) from Virtualbox vdi format to qcow2 (or raw/img--another debate in itself) so I can use libvirt/qemu/kvm to run it and completely migrate away from Virtualbox. The vdi machine is a mission critical production environment and I cannot afford to mess it up, etc. Will keep

Hi, I''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

Hello, I?m using ZFS to export some iscsi targets for the virtual box iscsi initiator. It works ok if I try to install the guest OS manually. However, I?d like to be able to import my already prepared guest os vdi images into the iscsi devices but I can?t figure out how to do it. Each time I tried, I cannot boot. It only works if I save the manually installed guest os and re-instate the same

[stef204 sent me the full log since it contains sensitive information] The log says that virt-v2v cannot see anything at all on the 34.1 GB disk (as if the disk is blank). However I think the actual problem is that you've given the wrong disk type in the XML: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>

Hi, attached is an updated [1] patch for virt-v2v to support converting VirtualBox guests with VirtualBox Guest Additions [2] installed. With the patch applied a VirtualBox RHEL 6 guest with Guest Additions can be converted with the steps documented in the manual page. I've tested this patch on a RHEL 6.2 host running VirtualBox 4.1.8 using a RHEL 6.2 guest, the guest works as expected

Hi unfortunately VirtualBox does not work yet in a Solaris Dom0: I installed VirtualBox beta and it runs fine on bare metal. Unfortunately the necessary driver does not load automatically in a xVM Dom0. It can be loaded manually but it looks like it does not work in a Dom0: bash-3.2# modinfo | grep vbox # this is a one time task: bash-3.2# cp /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/vboxdrv

I have a new OSX Lion Macbook and would like to control VirtualBox using "virsh" (as I do with KVM under Ubuntu). I've got this far: * Installed VirtualBox * Installed libvirt (brew install libvirt) But now I'm a bit stuck :-) I ran VirtualBox itself, and created a test VM successfully. If I try to use virsh, this is what I get: Brians-MacBook-Air:~ $ virsh -c

Hi, has anyone of you successfully used libvirt with VirtualBox? I ask because I haven't managed to connect to my machines and would like to benefit from your experience. Cheers Boris

Hello libvirt experts, I use libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7) with KVM / qemu (0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.2). Some machines use raw images but same use Virtualbox images (.vdi). Since last Ubuntu 10.04 LTS update I can not start the vdi-images. The "driver name= type=" option was new. <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file'

conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session") return this error: libvir: VBOX error : internal error unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API Traceback (most recent call last): File "prova.py", line 5, in <module> conn = libvirt.open("vbox:///session") File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 163, in open if ret is None:raise

I am trying to connect to the virtualbox hypervisor through libvirt. If I am doing it correctly, virsh -c vbox:///session should get me connected. I am on F14 64 bit. I tried this with both vbox 3.2 and 4.02. I keep getting the following error: error: no connection driver available for vbox:///session. What am I missing?

Hello listmates, I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS 6 server. VNC/RDP access to the VM's would be fine. Any help much appreciated. Cheers, Boris.
