You need a way to automatically create the instances in SMF when you create a new VM. The same when you delete a VM. One way to do it, is to to create the VMs from the CLI using VBoxManage, so you get total control on the process. Now you can create a wrapper script (eg. CreateVM / DeleteVM) around VBoxManage to also create/delete the corresponding SMF instances. -- Renaud > > On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 11:11 AM, Renaud Manus <Renaud.Manus at sun.com > <mailto:Renaud.Manus at sun.com>> wrote: > > It looks much better now. > > Now, you just need a wrapper script around VBoxManage to create the VMs > and the associated instances in SMF :-) > > Thanks > -- Renaud > > Alexandre Dumont a ?crit : > > Hi, > > I've finally been able to work out an updated version of the > manifest/method for my Virtualbox SMF service.
