8.3 VBoxManage registervm / unregistervm

The registervm command allows you to import a virtual machine definition in an XML file into VirtualBox. There are some restrictions here: the machine must not conflict with one already registered in VirtualBox and it may not have any hard or removable disks attached. It is advisable to place the definition file in the machines folder before registering it.

Note: When creating a new virtual machine with VBoxManage createvm (see below), you can directly specify the --register option to avoid having to register it separately.

The unregistervm command unregisters a virtual machine. If --delete is also specified then the XML definition file will be deleted.

8.4 VBoxManage createvm

This command creates a new XML virtual machine definition file.
