VirtualBox: Menambahkan VDI

sumber: https://superuser.com/questions/187598/how-to-open-existing-vms-in-virtualbox

As of version 4 of the Oracle VirtualBox Manager, the "Add" option is hidden in the "Machine" menu (which is an operating system menu). Just select Add, and navigate to the .vbox file you want. This works great even if the vbox file is on an external drive: if the drive is later removed, the missing boxes are simply marked as 'inaccessible'.

Alternatif lain

Importing existing virtual machines from another host into VirtualBox 4 and above on Windows hosts:

Importing the vdi virtual disk:

• Go to the menu: *File ⇨ Virtual media manager.
• Drag and drop the [vm_name].vdi into the list.

Adding the imported machine to the vbox manager list:

• Double-click on the [vm_name].vbox file in the directory of the vm, to add this machine to the vbox manager list.
• Double-click on the [vm_name].vbox inside the vbox manager list to start the appliance.

Sidenotes:

• If the VM comes from an older vbox release, you will have an [vm_name].xml inside a sub directory instead of a [vm_name].vbox in the same directory as [vm_name].vdi.
• Copy the [vm_name].xml into the same directory as the [vm_name].vdi and rename it to [vm_name].vbox.
• Proceed with step 1.1 or 2.1 depending on the actions you have already taken.
