VirtualBox Managing an Environment from Command Line

Internal

• VirtualBox Operations
• VirtualBox CLI

Overview

A set of scripts that wrap around the VirtualBox CLI and manage an environment can be found here:

To instrument an environment, copy [envc] and [functions] in the environment's management directory, and modify env, updating the environment topology and the start/stop/status functions.

Then:

envc status|start|stop

Start an Environment

VBoxManage startvm lb.modcluster.local --type headless
VBoxManage startvm ap1.modcluster.local --type headless
VBoxManage startvm ap2.modcluster.local --type headless

Stop an Environment

ssh -o ConnectTimeout=1 -t root@172.20.2.43 sudo -n init 0
ssh -o ConnectTimeout=1 -t root@172.20.2.42 sudo -n init 0
ssh -o ConnectTimeout=1 -t root@172.20.2.41 sudo -n init 0
