Virtual machine is not mutable
Posted: 28. Oct 2017, 14:36
Hi,
i am using virtual box 5.1.26
i am developing using C# using COM. i am trying to do many actions which require to lock the VM as per my under standing for example (start monitoring, vm save state, updating cableconnected state)
i am using the following code
but unfortunately whatever was the state of the machine it gives me error message
The machine is not mutable, saved or running (state is ....)
then the vm state become aborted
any advise
thanks

Session session = new VirtualBox.Session();
///this can only done if the machine is powered of

m.LockMachine(session, VirtualBox.LockType.LockType_Null);
INetworkAdapter NetAdapter = m.GetNetworkAdapter((uint)0);
NetAdapter.TraceEnabled = 1;
NetAdapter.TraceFile = "c:\\logs\\NTlog.pcap";
}
else
MessageBox.Show("the virtual machine " + m.Name + "must be powered of or saved first");
}
The machine is not mutable, saved or running (state is ....)

any advise
