Sun VirtualBox User Manual

Introduction

Sun xVM VirtualBox is a collection of powerful virtual machine tools, targeting desktop computers, enterprise servers and embedded systems. With VirtualBox, you can virtualize 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems on machines with Intel and AMD processors, either by using hardware virtualization features provided by these processorsor even entirely in software, at your option. You can find a brief feature overview in chapter 1.3, Features overview, page 12; see chapter 12, Change log, page 149 for a detailed list of version changes. Virtualization basics With VirtualBox, you can run unmodified operating systems – including all of the software that is installed on them – directly on top of your existing operating system, in a special environment called a “virtual machine”. Your physical computer is then usually called the “host”, while the virtual machine is often called a “guest”. VirtualBox allows the guest code to run unmodified, directly on the host computer, and the guest operating system “thinks” it’s running on a real machine. In the background, however, VirtualBox intercepts certain operations that the guest performs to make sure that the guest does not interfere with other programs on the host. The techniques and features that VirtualBox provides are useful for several scenarios:

mSOA Reference Architecture VirtualBox Image Guide

Getting the VirtualBox image running

1. Copy the image to your hard disk and if necessary, uncompress it.
2. Install VirtualBox. This can be downloaded from http://www.virtualbox.org. The demo was built with version 1.6.2 but any later version should work.
3. Run the New Virtual Machine wizard.
1. Supply a name (msoa might be a good choice).
2. OS Type should be Fedora
3. There are many components running inside the image, so you will need to allocate a generous amount of memory to the virtual machine. If you are not planning to run any of the design-time components (Java CAPS/NetBeans), you may be able to get away with 1Gb here. Otherwise, add as much as you can spare.
4. When you are prompted to select the Boot Hard Disk, choose Existing…
5. Add the VDI file you saved in step 1
6. Continue through the dialogs until the virtual machine has been created.
7. Change the advanced options / extended features so that Enable ACPI is disabled and Enable IO APIC is enabled.
8. Start it!

InnoTek VirtualBox User Manual

Chapter 1. Introduction

InnoTek VirtualBox is a family of virtual machine products targeting desktop computers, enterprise servers and embedded systems. Due to its modular architecture, VirtualBox can be deployed in any environment where x86 systems are to be virtualized on x86 systems. (With “x86″, we are referring to 32-bit CPUs from AMD and Intel as well as compatible CPUs from other vendors, plus 64-bit CPUs in 32-bit mode.) 1.1. Virtualization basics VirtualBox allows you to run unmodified operating systems — including all of the software that is installed on them — directly in a special environment on top of your existing operating system. This environment, called a “virtual machine”, is created by the virtualization software. The physical computer is then usually called the “host”, while the virtual machine is often called a “guest”.
