Using VirtualBox and KVM together
This is NOT possible!!!
Use VirtualBox
sudo service qemu-kvm stop sudo service vboxdrv start
OR use KVM
sudo service vboxdrv stop sudo service qemu-kvm start
Decide!
Migration from VirtualBox to KVM
This boils down to
- creating a clone of the vbox-machine (easiest way of getting rid of snapshots for a play vbox-disk)
- converting the images from vbox to qcow
- creating and configuring a new kvm-guest
- adding some NAT-fu (see next section)
VBoxManage clonehd -format RAW myOldVM.vbox /home/vm-exports/myNewVM.raw cd /home/vm-exports/ qemu-img convert -f raw myNewVM.raw -O qcow2 myNewVM.qcow
# for a snapshot do (not tested) cd /to/the/SnapShot/dir VBoxManage clonehd -format RAW SNAPSHOT_UUID /home/vm-exports/myNewVM.raw
Accessing services on KVM guests behind a NAT
I am referring to this article:
which ist mentioned in the libvirt wiki:
I installed the qemu-python script of the first articel under ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which worked like expected.
So I can access a port in the virtualmachine-guest with the IP/Port of the host (!). From within the host, it is possible to reach the
