Bandwidth control command
Posted: 9. May 2014, 19:53
Need a little help with the disk bandwidth control command for my "Win7CVXeams" guest (running 4.2.16).
Section 5.8 of the help file shows the following commands to limit disk bandwidth on a guest:
I entered the first line, with my guest's information inserted, like this:
"VBoxManage bandwidthctl Win7CVXeams list" returns this:
So the first command seems to have worked.
The second command was entered like this:
VBoxManage returns a list of options for the storageattach command and the error: "Unknown option: --controller" (Vboxmanage doesn't seem to know what the help file knows...)
So I delete the "--controller" and replace it with "--storagectl", making my command this:
and the command completes.
Something I'm missing? Or does the help file need an update?
