Hey there,
There's no magic or anything special here. I just defined a guest named
"oracle" in my Vagrantfile with the box "generic/oracle7":
config.vm.define "oracle" do |b|
b.vm.box = "generic/oracle7"
b.vm.provider :virtualbox
end
The difference being: Without the --box flag, the update command updates
boxes associated with guests in your Vagrantfile.
So in this case I defined a guest named "oracle" which used the
"generic/oracle7" box. That flag is useful for when you
want to update a box but maybe don't have a guest associated with it.
Hope that clears things up!
