! VirtualBox cloning/snapshotting
Take a snapshot of a running VM:
{{{
VBoxManage snapshot Ubuntu1 take snapshot01 --description "first snapshot, almost vanilla ubuntu"
}}}
This commands ends fine, but the VM hangs, even no response from external pings anymore.
VRDP just shows a black screen.\\
Looks like it is paused (even if not specified on the snapshot subcommand):
{{{
root@apollo:~# VBoxManage showvminfo Ubuntu1 --details|grep -i state
State: paused (since 2013-01-27T15:23:36.808000000)
root@apollo:~#
}}}
So try to resume it:
root@apollo:~# VBoxManage controlvm Ubuntu1 resume
root@apollo:~# VBoxManage showvminfo Ubuntu1 --details|grep -i state
State: running (since 2013-01-27T15:40:09.024000000)
root@apollo:~#
}}}
And yes it is running again.
Now clone this snapshot to a second machine:
{{{
root@apollo:~# VBoxManage clonevm Ubuntu1 --snapshot snapshot01 --options keepdisknames --name Ubuntu2 --register
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
Machine has been successfully cloned as "Ubuntu2"
root@apollo:~#
}}}
(This takes a few minutes).\\
But then we have :
{{{
root@apollo:~# VBoxManage list vms
"Ubuntu1" {1ed5e417-1eca-4a60-b6d4-5c8f40e44019}
"Ubuntu2" {e82b1ffb-21be-45e1-b467-c84cf5fda1a1}
root@apollo:~#
}}}
Change the vrdeport (should not be the same as the first machine):\\
{{VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu2 --vrdeport 13390}}
And fire up the thing:
{{{
root@apollo:~# VBoxHeadless --startvm Ubuntu2
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.2.6
(C) 2008-2012 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.
VRDE server is listening on port 13390.
