Greetings, We have been setting up multiple virtual machines by editing the XML. These virtual machines are then hosted on a range on OS's (think.. peoples laptops)
When importing/registering the machine definition on a Mac we need to change an entry to reflect what the 'host os' type is, and then it will work. .. otherwise the command to register the machine definition doesn't succeed. eg. the 'version' string in the <VirtualBox> tag needs to be changed prior to running the "VBoxManage registervm" command. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Sun VirtualBox Machine Configuration --> <VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings"; version="1.7-macosx"> <Machine uuid="{466838eb-239b-4590-8eed-5d00b7ab64ce}" name="redrock-vm" OSType="Linux26_64" lastStateChange="2009-07-17T08:23:50Z"> <ExtraData> <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/SaveMountedAtRuntime" value="yes"/> <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/ShowMiniToolBar" value="yes"/> (snip) *** Is there a way of specifying a Virtual Machine independent of the *** hosting OS which will allow the VM to be registered without any *** addtional changes to the definition?
