1 Introduction Sun VirtualBox is a collection of powerful virtual machine tools, targeting desktop computers, enterprise servers and embedded systems. With VirtualBox, you can virtu- alize32-bitand64-bitoperatingsystemsonmachineswithIntelandAMDprocessors, either by using hardware virtualization features provided by these processors or even entirely in software, at your option. You can find a brief feature overview in chapter 1.3, Features overview, page 13; see chapter 12, Change log, page 155 fo

1 Introduction ground, however, VirtualBox intercepts certain operations that the guest performs to make sure that the guest does not interfere with other programs on the host. The techniques and features that VirtualBox provides are useful for several scenar- ios: • Operating system support. With VirtualBox, one can run software written for one operating system on another (for example, Windows software on Linux) without having to reboot to use it. You can even install an old operating system su

1 Introduction performance of the guest code on your machine, we had to go through a lot of optimizations that are specific to certain operating systems. So while your favorite operating system may run as a guest, we officially support and optimize for a select few (which, however, include the most common ones). See chapter 1.5, Supported guest operating systems, page 17 for further informa- tion. Virtualmachine(VM). When running, a VM is the special environment that VirtualBox creates for your gu

1 Introduction There are two ways in which VirtualBox can achieve virtualization: either entirely in software or, with newer processors, using certain hardware features. • Forsomeyears,IntelandAMDprocessorshavehadsupportforso-called “hard- ware virtualization”. This means that these processors aid virtualization soft- ware such as VirtualBox in intercepting potentially dangerous operations that a guestoperatingsystemmaybeattemptingandinpresentingvirtualhardwareto a virtual machine.

1 Introduction Warning: Do not run other hypervisors (open-source or commercial virtu- alization products) together with VirtualBox! While several hypervisors can normally be installed in parallel, do not attempt to run several virtual ma- chines from competing hypervisors at thesame time. VirtualBox cannot track what another hypervisor is currently attempting to do on the same host, and especially if several products attempt to use hardware virtualization features such as VT-x, this can crash t

1 Introduction • Clean architecture; unprecedented modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a clean separationofclientandservercode. Thismakesiteasytocontrolitfromseveral interfaces at once: for example, you can start a VM simply by clicking on a button in the VirtualBox graphical user interface and then control that machine from the command line, or even remotely. See chapter 7, Alternative front-ends; remote virtual machines, p

1 Introduction – Full ACPI support. The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is fully supported by VirtualBox. This eases cloning of PC images fromrealmachinesorthird-partyvirtualmachinesintoVirtualBox. Withits unique ACPI power status support, VirtualBox can even report to ACPI- aware guest operating systems the power status of the host. For mobile systems running on battery, the guest can thus enable energy saving and notify the user of the remaining power (e.g. in fullscreen modes

However, our focus is to optimize the product’s per- formance for a select list of guest systems: WindowsNT4.0 All versions/editions and service packs are fully supported; how- ever, there are some issues with older service packs.

1 Introduction 1.6 64-bitguests Starting with Version 2.0, VirtualBox also supports 64-bit guest operating systems. Starting with Version 2.1, you can even run 64-bit guests on a 32-bit host operating system, so long as you have sufficient hardware. In particular, 64-bit guests are supported under the following conditions: 1. You need a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support (see chapter 1.2, Software vs. hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMDV) - , page 11). 2. You must enable hard
