On Virtual Box is a great software of Virtualization (free and support many guest). If you want to move a virtual machine under Virtual Box to another host, you can do it by the easy way :
Choose your virtual machine to export and location to save file, and wait until it finish 🙂
An another host you can add the virtual machie as the same way too :
Locate your location of virtual machine (“ovf” file is information about your virtual machine), wait until it finish
You done! Start a virtual machine
The mostly problem I found are the network card or network interface can’t start up if you try to start it you will see this message
# ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device# ifconfig eth1 up
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device
Damn what wrong?
OK let’s solve it.
The first thing you must to do is check the ethernet card driver of your virtual machine
# lspci | grep “Ethernet”
[code lang=”text” gutter=”false”]
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 40)
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 40)
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 40)
[/code]
Yes we have the driver, what wrong?
Let’s check this file, it generated from net-persistent you can modify 🙂
# nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[code lang=”text” gutter=”false”]
# PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (pcnet32)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="08:00:27:d6:14:a1", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x1022:0x2000 (pcnet32)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="08:00:27:56:5d:af", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"
[/code]
I recommended you to remember of ATTR{address}==”xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”, jot it and shut down your virtual machine. Go to settings of this virtual machine, focus on Network
Look at this! It’s not match with a “70-persistent-net.rules” file. OK change em up!
If you done, start the virtual machine again
config your network address
# nano /etc/network/interface
[code lang=”text” gutter=”false”]
auto eth0
inet eth0 inet static
address YOURADDRESS
netmask YOURNETMASK
[/code]
save and restart the network
# /etc/init.d/networing restart
check the eth0 interface
# ifconfig et0
It could show the information which you config above. And you can work with your virtual machine again
