Feature suggestion: vboxmanage could run on non-vbox-configu
Posted: 9. Feb 2009, 16:23
I have a fileserver, and I need to create a vbox vmdk image from a DD image.
So I run As both the "create image" and the destination (are 160Gb!) run on the server (which happens to not run virtualbox yet), I wanted to run this on the server. Turns out that VBoxManage is a script that checks for the existence of the kernel module before running the real binary. I found out that the kernel module is not neccesary, copying over the real binary works just fine.

So I run
Code: Select all
<create_image> | VBoxManage convertdd stdin <imagename>.vmdk 160041885696Roger.
