This name is used by + default as the name of the settings file that has the + .vbox extension and the machine folder, which + is a subfolder of the $HOME/VirtualBox VMs + directory. + + + Ensure that the VM name conforms to the host OS file name + requirements. If you later rename the VM, the file and folder + names will be updated to match the new name automatically. + + + + + Command Options + + In addition to specifying the name or UUID of the VM, which is + required, you can specify any of the following options: + + + + + + Specifies the name of the folder in which to save the + machine configuration file for the new VM. + + Note that the names of the file and the folder do not change + if you rename the VM. + + + + + + Applies a default hardware configuration for the specified + guest OS. By default, the VM is created with minimal + hardware. + + + + + + Assigns the VM to the specified groups. If you specify more + than one group, separate each group name with a comma. + + Note that each group is identified by a group ID that starts + with a slash character (/) so that groups + can be nested. By default, a VM is always assigned + membership to the / group. + + + + + + Specifies the guest OS to run in the VM. Run the + VBoxManage list ostypes command to see + the available OS types. + + + + + + Registers the VM with your &product-name; installation. By + default, the VBoxManage createvm command + creates only the XML configuration for the VM but does not + register the VM. If you do not register the VM at creation, + you can run the VBoxManage registervm + command after you create the VM. + + + + + + Specifies the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) of the + VM. Ensure that this UUID is unique within the + &product-name; namespace of the host or of its VM group + memberships if you decide to register the VM. By default, + &product-name; command provides the UUID. + + + + + + + Examples + + + The following command creates a VM called vm2 + where you plan to run a 64-bit version of Oracle Linux. + +$ VBoxManage createvm --name "vm2" --ostype "Oracle_64" + + The following command creates and registers a VM called + vm3. + +$ VBoxManage createvm --name "vm3" --register + + + + See Also + + , + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
