Mounting issues

Post by jeffsto »

I have 2 issues with mounting currently

1st.

I've created the storagectl and it shows that it is assigned to the vm
Storage Controller Name (0): win2k3
Storage Controller Type (0): IntelAhci
Storage Controller Instance Number (0): 0
Storage Controller Max Port Count (0): 30
Storage Controller Port Count (0): 30

I've also created the HD
Location: ./.VirtualBox/HardDisks/win2k3.vdi

When I enter the following command I get an error
VBoxManage storageattach win2k3 --storagectl win2k3 --port 30 --device 1 --type hdd --medium win2k3.vdi
ERROR: The port and/or count parameter are out of range [30:1]

2nd

Storage Controller Name (1): windows2k3-cd
Storage Controller Type (1): PIIX4
Storage Controller Instance Number (1): 0
Storage Controller Max Port Count (1): 2
Storage Controller Port Count (1): 2

I'm trying to mount my cd drive as an iso and when I do I get an "error: Success" message

VBoxManage storageattach win2k3 --storagectl windows2k3-cd --port 2 --type dvddrive --medium ~/Windows_2003_Enterprise.iso
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.1.2

Usage:

VBoxManage storageattach <uuid|vmname>
--storagectl <name>
--port <number>
--device <number>
[--type <dvddrive|hdd|fdd>
--medium <none|emptydrive|uuid|filename|host:<drive>>]
[--passthrough <on|off>]
[--forceunmount]

error: Success. <----------------------------------------------------

Also is there any way I can see what is mapped to each controller?

Thanks for you help!!!!!
