Virtuozzo 7 ships with the guest tools for Linux and Windows virtual machines. The guest tools allow you to:
- Configure virtual machine and container network,
- Set passwords,
- Run commands inside containers or VMs from the host,
- Enter containers or VMs,
- Change SIDs,
- Perform graceful shutdowns,
- Manage devices.
In addition, Virtuozzo guest tools also contain the autoballooning driver.
To install guest tools inside a VM myvm, do the following:
-
Mount the guest tools image to the VM:
# prlctl installtools myvm -
Connect to the VM either via VNC (as described previously in this homework) or SSH if your VM already has an IP address set manually or via DHCP:
# ssh root@<VM_IP_addr> -
Run the guest tools installer inside the VM:
# mkdir /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # /mnt/cdrom/install
The guest tools are installed.
