Error when importing OVAs
So Im working on a project for school and at the school PCs which use Intel CPUs I have no problems but today I tried importing to my AMD PC and it keeps giving me the same errors, so far I´ve tried importing and also copying the whole folder after importing on a windows machine.
Error:
Failed to open virtual machine located in J:/Cópias de VMs/Client/Client.vbox.
Error in J:\C�pias de VMs\Client\Client.vbox (line 59) -- Invalid value 'WAS' in AudioAdapter/@driver attribute.
F:\tinderbox\win-6.1\src\VBox\Main\src-server\MachineImpl.cpp[499] (long __cdecl Machine::initFromSettings(class VirtualBox *,const class com::Utf8Str &,const class com::Guid *)).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
Caller: IVirtualBox {d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d}
What can I do?

Re: Error when importing OVAs
Based on this topic: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=108710
It appears that the VM was made in 7.0 and uses a new feature that 6.1 & earlier doesn't know about.
Options:
Upgrade your PC to 7.0 Virtualbox.
Get the VM source to be 6.1-aware in its settings (make the same type VM in each version, then match the hardware settings in the 7.0 VM to the 6.1 VM's settings).

Ok by any chance is there a guide somewhere for how to match the hardware settings?

Re: Error when importing OVAs
No, it's just, go through each page in the VM's settings, match the settings.
Another option: Copy the VM folder from the working Virtualbox host instead of exporting / importing, and register the VM's .vbox file with the new host using the main Virtualbox window's Machine menu Add command.

Glad you're up and running! Did you upgrade? Or match settings?

Do you know that copying the VM folder directly would work in different versions of Oracla VM's? The versions are 6.1 vs 7.0scottgus1 wrote:No, it's just, go through each page in the VM's settings, match the settings.

Re: Error when importing OVAs
Copying the folder nearly always works, regardless of versions. It's the only method we encourage because it's the only method that doesn't alter the VM. We specifically do not encourage the use of export/import when it's VirtualBox at both ends.halibeytorun wrote: Do you know that copying the VM folder directly would work in different versions of Oracla VM's?

The only caveats with direct copying are: (1) going backwards and features not supported by older versions, (2) moving between OSs if you have OS-specific resource names embedded in the settings (e.g. Linux paths, Windows network card names). These errors are trivially easy to deal with.
But we need to be careful here. Oracle sells more than one VM platform, and "Oracle VM" traditionally refers to their server VM product. If you mean VirtualBox, best say so!
