How to remove a media from Virtual Media Manager by script?

0 votes
502 views

I would like to create VBox from a resized image file. Because --resize seems to be supported only for VDI formats, I think I have to convert the image temporarily.

I'm using the following sequence:
$ VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename tmp.vmdk -rawdisk disk_v1.0.0.img
$ VBoxManage clonehd "tmp.vmdk" "tmp.vdi" --format vdi
$ VBoxManage modifyhd "tmp.vdi" --resize 2048
$ VBoxManage clonehd "tmp.vdi" "disk_v1.0.0.vmdk" --format vmdk

(In future I think I continue with creation of an appliance from that).

The clonehd "registers" the disk to Virtual Media Manager and I found no "removehd", thus I get warnings when deleting the tmp files and can run the commands only once.

How do I remove a media from Virtual Media Manager by script?

Installing virt-manager in Fedora 19 did not create a network bridge

When I installed virt-manager in Ubuntu, it created a network bridge called virbr0. Now that I have installed virt-manager in Fedora 19, it did not create a network bridge. So how do I create a network bridge? Is virt-manager supposed to create a network bridge?

I installed virt-manager using the following command.

sudo yum install virt-manager

Are there any more rpm packages which I am supposed to install?

How to shut down a fedora 20 virtual machine?

I am currently running RHEL 6.5 on a 64-bit laptop, and installed a new fedora 20 VM using the Virtual Machine Manager -- seemed to work fine, f20 came up, looks good, but now i want to shut it down, so from the f20 console, I selected "Virtual Machine" -> "Shut Down" -> "Shut Down".

Where it *looks* like the VM shuts down, but the VMM window shows "f20 Running"

Should I expect a different result? I was expecting the VMM window to show that that VM was Stopped or something.
