Hello, I've been trying all day to get more than one instances of virtualbox to run on the same immutable drive.
First, I managed to get the drive to be immutable by cloning the disk and registering the new one as immutable VBoxManage clonevdi Windowsxp.vdi Windowsxp2.vdi VBoxManage registerimage disk Windowsxp2.vdi -type immutable I did this because I had problems doing it the other way, as I posted here http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=94&highlight= Now, when I look at the settings my and change the primary master, sure enough, it says it is 'immutable'. However, when I try to start two virtual machines using this same immutable vdi image, I get an error and it does not work. In the 1.4 release notes it says: IDE: fixed problem that only one VM could open an immutable image This is the version I'm running. But when I try to open more than one it gives me the warning "One or more of the registered virtual hard disks is not currently accessible..." and when I try to start the vm it says "VM cannot start because the hard disk '/home/user/.VirtualBox/VDI/Windowsxp2.vdi' is not accessible (Acutal UUID {62d885a4-1963-4aca-6990-913036ac751d} of the hard disk image '/home/user/.VirtualBox/VDI/Windowsxp2.vdi' doesn't match UUID {a818aeca-b06f-41b6-80bd-6743c35c79e} stored in the registry)." I have a 64 bit Ubuntu Linux host (installation from apt-get) and a Windowsxp guest. Can anyone help me? Thanks. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
