8 VBoxManage reference

VBoxManage convertfromraw

[--format VDI|VMDK|VHD]

[--variant Standard,Fixed,Split2G,Stream,ESX]

VBoxManage convertfromraw

stdin

[--format VDI|VMDK|VHD]

[--variant Standard,Fixed,Split2G,Stream,ESX]

where the parameters mean:

format

Select the disk image format to create. Default is VDI.

variant

Allow to choose a file format variant for the output file. It is a comma-

separated list of variant flags. Not all combinations are supported, and specifying
inconsistent flags will result in an error message.

The second form forces VBoxManage to read the content for the disk image from
standard input (useful for using that command in a pipe).

Note: For compatibility with earlier versions of VirtualBox, the “convertdd”
command is also supported and mapped internally to the “convertfromraw”
command.

8.19 VBoxManage addiscsidisk

The addiscsidisk command attaches an iSCSI network storage unit to VirtualBox.
The iSCSI target can then be made available to and used by a virtual machine as
though it were a standard write-through virtual disk image.

This command has the following syntax:

VBoxManage addiscsidisk --server |

--target

[--port ]

[--lun ]

[--username ]

[--password ]

[--type normal|writethrough|immutable]

[--comment ]

[--intnet]

where the parameters mean:

server

The host name or IP address of the iSCSI target.

target

Target name string. This is determined by the iSCSI target and used to identify

the storage resource.

port

TCP/IP port number of the iSCSI service on the target (optional).
