Multiple Static IPs to single Box?

Post by Nikola N. »

Hello

I'd like to try the Oracle VM templates available for PeopleSoft HCM. It involves a Oracle VM Server, Oracle VM Manager template, and two PeopleSoft templates (Database, and App/Web).

Oracle VM Server needs to be installed on bare hardware though, which is annoying. So I'd like to do it inside Virtualbox instead:). Never done double virtualization, but I'm assuming it won't create a vortex which will eat up my box... we'll see though ;)

Tricky bit though is that each template, installed inside the Oracle VM Server, needs its own static IP #.

I'm not sure if there's a way to assign multiple (in this case, four) static numbers, to a single virtual NIC, on a single VirtualBox VM?
My usage of VirtualBox so far has been largely through GUI, for my desktop VMs of Ubuntu etc. I read through manual and searched through forums best as I could, and I see the modifyvm command to assign a static IP, but it did not look like I could easily expand the command to multiple static IPs... I might be wrong though! :)

If it helps at all, I'm attaching an image of what I'm trying to do... I'm neither a virtualisation or MS Visio expert, please don't judge harshly ;)

Nested virtualization is not supported by VirtualBox.

Thanks; however, I thought from the sticky on "Virtualisation in Virtualisation" that people have gotten Xen-based hypervisors running inside VirtualBox?

At any rate, my main question is more networking based: can I assign more than one static IP to a single VB image?

Thanks! :)

That thread was open as a discussion point but it is not supported.
you can use eth0:0 eth0:1 and assign what ever you want as long as the guest is not set to use NAT IIRC.
