Machine will get Aborted when onther machine started

Post by julian.xu »

Hi All,

I 'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I installed two windows 2008 R2 machines.

The issue is , when I started one machine, the other machine will get Aborted. Anyone know why ?
I'm a Oracle stuff , so if you need reproduce environment , please contact me.

If the first VM get's aborted it can have two reasons: Either the VM was killed by the Linux oom killer if you don't have enough memory. For example if you have a host with 4GB RAM and are trying to start 2 VMs with 2GB RAM assigned to each VM then there is not enough RAM available for the host and Linux will most likely kill one of the VM processes. In that case there should be messages in your host log ('dmesg').

Or the VM process crashes for a different reason. In that case please provide a core dump of the crashing process together with the corresponding VBox.log file. Unfortunately I cannot provide you a server for uploading the core so if you have one, please contact me via provide e-mail (you will just get an email regarding your vbox-dev posting).

Frank,

Thanks for your help.

I used dmesg and found that's because I don't have enough memory.
Solve this by reduce the memory for each VM.

But , really hope we can get user friendly message when this issue happen.

This is Linux host that is killing the guest VM process. No chance for VirtualBox to throw a friendly message.
