|
|
<p>In the <b outputclass="bold">Basic</b> tab of the <b outputclass="bold">General</b> settings category, you can
|
|
find these settings: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b outputclass="bold">Name:</b> The name of the the
|
|
VM, as shown in the list of VMs in the main VirtualBox
|
|
Manager window. Using this name, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> also saves
|
|
the VM's configuration files. If you change the name,
|
|
<ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> renames these files as well. As a result, you
|
|
can only use characters which are allowed for file names on your host OS.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Note that internally, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> uses unique identifiers (UUIDs)
|
|
to identify virtual machines. You can display these using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> commands. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b outputclass="bold">Type and Subtype:</b> The type and subtype of the guest
|
|
OS for the VM. For example, if the <b>Type</b> is Linux, the <b>Subtype</b> might be
|
|
Oracle Linux.</p>
|
|
<p>These are the same settings that are specified in the <b outputclass="bold">New Virtual Machine</b> workflow. See <xref href="create-vm-wizard.dita#create-vm-wizard"/>. </p>
|
|
<p>Whereas the default settings of a newly created VM depend on the selected OS type, changing the type later has no effect on VM settings.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p><b outputclass="bold">Version:</b> The version of the guest OS for the VM. This is the same setting that is specified in the <b outputclass="bold">New Virtual Machine</b> workflow. See <xref href="create-vm-wizard.dita#create-vm-wizard"/>. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
