module VirtualBox # Represents a single VirtualBox virtual machine. All attributes which are # not read-only can be modified and saved. # # # Finding Virtual Machines # # Two methods are used to find virtual machines: {VM.all} and {VM.find}. Each # return a {VM} object. An example is shown below: # # vm = VirtualBox::VM.find("MyWindowsXP") # puts vm.name # => "MyWindowsXP" # # # Modifying Virtual Machines # # Virtual machines can be modified a lot like [ActiveRecord](http://ar.rubyonrails.org/) # objects. This is best shown through example: # # vm = VirtualBox::VM.find("MyWindowsXP") # vm.memory_size = 256 # vm.name = "WindowsXP" # vm.save # # # Controlling Virtual Machines # # Virtual machines can be controlled using the basic {#start}, {#stop}, etc. # methods. The current state of the VM can also be retrieved via the {#state} # method. An example of this use is shown below: # # if vm.powered_off? # vm.start # end # # # Taking a Snapshot # # Snapshots allow virtual machine states to be saved at a given point in time # without having to stop the machine. This state can then be restored later. # VirtualBox handles this by creating a differencing image which allows the hard # drive to even retain its exact state. Taking a snapshot is extremely simple: # # vm = VirtualBox::VM.find("MyWindowsXP") # vm.take_snapshot("My Snapshot", "A description of my snapshot") # # # Traversing Snapshots # # Snapshots are represented by a tree-like structure. There is a root snapshot # and that snapshot has many children which may in turn have their own children. # The easiest way to traverse this structure is to use the {#root_snapshot} # VM method and traverse the structure like any tree structure: # # vm = VirtualBox::VM.find("MyWindowsXP") # p vm.root_snapshot.children.length # # # Finding Snapshots # # While traversing the entire snapshot tree can be useful, it is often more # useful to be able to simply find a snapshot by name. For this, use the # {#find_snapshot} method: # # vm = VirtualBox::VM.find("MyWindowsXP") # p vm.find_snapshot("PreSP3") # # # Attributes and Relationships # # Properties of the virtual machine are exposed using standard ruby instance # methods which are generated on the fly. Because of this, they are not listed # below as available instance methods. # # These attributes can be accessed and modified via standard ruby-style # `instance.attribute` and `instance.attribute=` methods. The attributes are # listed below. # # Relationships are also accessed like attributes but can't be set. Instead, # they are typically references to other objects such as a {HardDrive} which # in turn have their own attributes which can be modified. # # ## Attributes # # This is copied directly from the class header, but lists all available # attributes.
