Rom Walton 30c23d28f3 VBOX: Check for a valid Console pointer before attempting to pause/resume the VM. 
get_Console() is not returning an error, bit the returning IConsole interface is NULL.  Just return an ERR_EXEC instead of crash.
 2015-04-07 18:28:18 -04:00
Rom Walton 1faf8abf3f VBOX: After adding in a new VirtualBox COM interface, you must hook up the plumbing. 2015-04-04 09:33:44 -04:00
Rom Walton f7df3c380a VBOX: Only add the guest additions ISO to the VM if the file has actually been detected on the file system. 
Some Linux systems separate the VirtualBox packages so that the guest additions ISO is in a separate package.  We were attempting to add a DVD device for a file that did not exist.
 2015-04-02 16:55:57 -04:00
Rom Walton fc621bf1c8 VBOX: Clean-up Vbox 4.2/4.3/5.0 support. 2015-04-01 15:29:18 -04:00
Rom Walton 228e82a4b7 VBOX: Add COM support for VirtualBox 5.0 Beta 1. 2015-04-01 14:53:43 -04:00
Rom Walton 3a399ea0f5 VBOX: If polling for the current VM state fails for any reason, like vboxsvc crashing, do a temp exit for 24 hours. 
Before COM, polling for the current state wasn't as critical.  If the poll operation failed, we would try again in one second anyway.

After COM, it is used as a test to see if the communication channel between the wrapper and VirtualBox is still operational.  If not, temp exit and hope things work the next attempt.

David Anderson ab9b146054 vboxwrapper: add a general port-forwarding mechanism 
All vbox_job.xml to specify ranges of port forwardings,
and whether the access to the host ports is remote or local.
This is to support MPI for Rytis.

Notes:
- the existing feature (pf_guest_port) is used only for web graphics.
  The host port is always dynamically assigned;
  there's no reason to have <pf_host_port>; I removed it from the doc.
  There's no reason to write the host port to a file; I removed that.
- The new feature is only for fixed host ports.
- The checkpoint file can stay the way it is.

Rom Walton a57cbb7987 Add implementation for an extra cache disk 
This commit adds two extra options:
- enable_cache_disk
- cache_disk_filename

This allows to attach a cache disk image to extend the storage
needs initially provided by the OS image.

In context-based systems such as uCernVM, this image can be
used to store the local cache of artifacs coming from CVMFS.

Note this image is attached without further checking on the content
and is entirely up to the main OS to make good use of it.

Rom Walton 7ec9e95822 Enable VM contextualization via ISO9660 image 
This commit allows to attach an ISO9660 image to a vbox VM
from a well-known file. The purpose is to enable the dynamic
configuration of the VM in first boot so that the volunteer VM
can be kept generic. This process is otherwise widely known as
contextualization of virtual machines.

The actual content of the ISO9660 image is application dependent
and outside the scope of this implementation.

David Anderson 658547ccf6 wrapper: add --trickle X cmdline option to periodically report runtime 
Add logic in wrapper to maintain and checkpoint total runtime.
Also vboxwrapper: slight refactor.

Note: we often use "elapsed time" where we mean "runtime".
Should use the latter.
