Substituting values in VboxManage commands

Post by fade2gray »

Hi,

Taking the the following example from section 12.2.1 of the user manual,

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#[x]/Config/FlushInterval" [b]
which of the following is correct (i.e. with or without the square brackets)...

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#[0]/Config/FlushInterval" [1000000]
or

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#0/Config/FlushInterval" 1000000
Both are accepted on entering without error.

Thanks for any advice.
