Is Solaris "hostonlyif create" broken?

Post by martyscholes »

Before I go file a bug for this, is anyone else seeing this issue? I am trying to create several host-only interfaces, but the code says that the create command is wrong:

Code: Select all

bash-4.1$ VBoxManage hostonlyif create
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 4.3.30
(C) 2005-2015 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Usage:

VBoxManage hostonlyif       ipconfig <name>
                            [--dhcp |
                            --ip<ipv4> [--netmask<ipv4> (def: 255.255.255.0)] |
                            --ipv6<ipv6> [--netmasklengthv6<length> (def: 64)]]


Syntax error: Invalid parameter 'create'
Hopefully I am just doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Marty

I can't believe I missed that in the documentation. Many thanks.
