VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 2 On A Headless Debian Lenny Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun xVM VirtualBox 2 on a headless Debian Lenny server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Hi Falko.

 Excuse Me,

 I've follow your "how to" about virtualbox on a server.

 Althoug, when I type on my server: "VBoxManage modifyvm openfire1 --hda openfire1.vdi" I get this error:

" ERROR: Could not find a storage controller named 'IDE Controller'

Details: code Vbox_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb........

My PC has sata hard disk. And if I type "VBoxManage modifyvm openfire1 --sda openfire1.vdi", it returns: "unknown option: --sda

Well, I hope you or another one, can help me, I don't know what's wrong. 

 

Thank you.
