Hello,
let me do this step by step
I created a hashicorp/precise64 box:
"precise64_default_1434759825291_71417" {480ea0df-8b9b-4884-8864-a9ff072412f7}
VBoxManage showvminfo 480ea0df-8b9b-4884-8864-a9ff072412f7
So in my particular case, we have:
Storage Controller Name (0): IDE Controller
IDE Controller (0, 0): Empty
IDE Controller (1, 0): Empty
Let me add a disk so can match yours:
vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk
Create disk:
VBoxManage createhd --filename vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk --size 1024
--format VMDK
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100
Disk image created. UUID: 790cc92e-c265-480e-bb8d-e02d53a580ac
Attach the disk to the controller:
VBoxManage storageattach 480ea0df-8b9b-4884-8864-a9ff072412f7
--storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium
vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk
Now are similar:
IDE Controller (0, 0):
/Volumes/hd1/Dropbox/vagrant_mini/precise64/vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk
(UUID: 790cc92e-c265-480e-bb8d-e02d53a580ac)
IDE Controller (1, 0): Empty
the IDE controller is a dual controller with 2 ports
so we can have 4 devices
let's add a dvd drive to the first controller on the 2nd port
VBoxManage storageattach 480ea0df-8b9b-4884-8864-a9ff072412f7
--storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive
--medium emptydrive
IDE Controller (0, 0):
/Volumes/hd1/Dropbox/vagrant_mini/precise64/vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk
(UUID: 790cc92e-c265-480e-bb8d-e02d53a580ac)
IDE Controller (1, 0): Empty
ok, so I think I know what happen in your case:
--medium none
medium none is to tell the VirtualBox to delete that dvd
Check:
VBoxManage storageattach 480ea0df-8b9b-4884-8864-a9ff072412f7
--storagectl "IDE Controller" --port 1 --device 0 --type dvddrive
--medium none
IDE Controller (0, 0):
/Volumes/hd1/Dropbox/vagrant_mini/precise64/vagrant-virtualbox-box.vmdk
(UUID: 790cc92e-c265-480e-bb8d-e02d53a580ac)
SATA Controller (0, 0): /Users/alvarom/VirtualBox
VMs/precise64_default_1434759825291_71417/box-disk1.vmdk (UUID:
eee38c7e-cca4-4781-9afd-5f5d57b8cd02)
So, use port 1, device 0, medium emptydrive
Alvaro.
