UserManual storageattach error ? page 158
Posted: 11. Dec 2018, 14:43
In the UserManual on page 158 about VBoxManage storagectl it still reads (as before) :
"Some of the above changes, in particular for removeable media such as floppies and
CDs/DVDs, can be effected while a VM is running. Others, such as device changes or
changes in hard disk device slots, require the VM to be powered off."
On Solaris11.4 6.0.0r3 it was still the case for me at least that I could not add disks to the guest while the guest was running - as explained in the manual.
Is this still the case ? It seems that for me 6.0.0RC1 on Solaris I can hotadd storage on the SATA controller ... Is it a new feature ? Maybe it was already available on other host platforms before ?
Great work but if this is the case then the UserManual needs to be updated ... documentation error.
"require the VM to be powered off" should be explained further.
Also it would be nice to clarify the support in VirtualBox for hotplug for SCSI or SCSI-SAS controllers where at least on my machine the option to hotplug add disks seems grayed out - unfortunately.
