Assignment No. 3 : Implementing Virtual Machines with VirtualBox

Introduction: VirtualBox is a powerful, open-source virtualization tool that allows

you to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) on your local system. VMs are
essential for simulating cloud-based environments, testing applications, or
running multiple operating systems on a single machine. Here’s a guide to creating
and configuring virtual machines with VirtualBox.
1. Install VirtualBox:

1. Go to the VirtualBox website.
2. Download the latest version for your operating system (Windows,
macOS, Linux).
• Install VirtualBox:
o Windows:
1. Open the downloaded .exe file.
2. Follow the installation wizard to complete the setup.
o macOS:
1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
2. Drag the VirtualBox icon to your Applications folder.
o Linux:
1. Install VirtualBox using your package manager or download
from the website.
2. Create a New Virtual Machine:
• Open VirtualBox.
• Click on the “New” button or go to “Machine” > “New”.
• Follow the New VM Wizard:
1. Name and Operating System:
▪ Enter a name for your VM.
▪ Choose the type and version of the operating system you plan
to install.
2. Memory Size:
▪ Allocate RAM to the VM. A recommended minimum is 2 GB,
but it depends on the guest OS requirements.
 3. Hard Disk:
▪ Select “Create a virtual hard disk now” and click “Create”.
▪ Choose the hard disk file type (e.g., VDI for VirtualBox Disk
Image).
▪ Select whether the storage should be dynamically allocated or
fixed size.
▪ Set the size of the virtual hard disk (e.g., 20 GB).
3. Configure the Virtual Machine:
• With the VM selected, click “Settings” or right-click the VM and choose
“Settings”.
• System:
o Configure the boot order (e.g., Optical, Hard Disk).
o Adjust the number of processors if needed.
• Display:
o Adjust video memory and enable 3D acceleration if necessary.
• Storage:
o Attach an ISO file to the virtual CD/DVD drive if you plan to install an
OS from an image.
• Network:
o Choose the network adapter type and mode (e.g., NAT, Bridged
Adapter) based on your network requirements.
• Shared Folders:
o Set up shared folders if you need to share files between the host and
the VM.
4. Install the Operating System:
• Start the VM:
o Select the VM and click “Start”.
• Install OS:
o If you have attached an ISO file, the VM should boot from it.
o Follow the installation steps for the guest OS as you would on a
physical machine.
5. Install VirtualBox Guest Additions:
• After the OS installation is complete, it's a good idea to install VirtualBox
Guest Additions to improve performance and enable features like shared
clipboard and seamless mouse integration.
 • With the VM running, go to “Devices” > “Insert Guest Additions CD image”.
• Follow the installation instructions within the VM.
6. Manage and Use Virtual Machines:
• Start/Stop VMs:
o Use the “Start” button to boot the VM and “Close” to shut it down.
• Snapshots:
o Take snapshots to save the current state of the VM, which allows you
to revert to it later if needed. Go to “Machine” > “Take Snapshot”.
• Export/Import VMs:
o Export VMs to an OVA file for easy transfer or backup. Go to “File” >
“Export Appliance”.
o Import VMs using the OVA file by selecting “File” > “Import
Appliance”.
7. Networking and Advanced Configuration:
• Port Forwarding:
o Set up port forwarding rules if the VM needs to access specific
network ports.
• Bridged Networking:
o Use bridged networking if you need the VM to appear as a separate
entity on the network.
• Multiple NICs:
o Configure multiple network adapters if needed for advanced
networking scenarios.
8. Troubleshooting:
• Performance Issues:
o Ensure adequate resources are allocated and adjust VM settings as
needed.
• Boot Issues:
o Check the boot order and ensure the ISO or virtual hard disk is
correctly attached.
