8VBoxManage reference
•--audio nonenulloss: With this option, you can set whether the VM should have audio support.
•--clipboard disabledhosttoguestguesttohostbidirectional: With this setting, you can select whether the guest operating system’s clipboard should be shared with the host; see chapter 3.3, General settings, page 46. This requires that the Guest Additions be installed in the virtual machine.
•--vrdp onoff: With the VirtualBox graphical user interface, this enables or disables the built-in VRDP server. Note that if you are using VBoxHeadless (see chapter 7.4.2, VBoxHeadless, the VRDP-only server, page 101), VRDP output is always enabled.
•--vrdpport default<ports>: A port or a range of ports the VRDP server can bind to; “default” or “0” means port 3389, the standard port for RDP. You can specify a comma-separated list of ports or ranges of ports. Use a dash be- tween two port numbers to specify a range. The VRDP server will bind to one of available ports from the specified list. Only one machine can use a given port at
a time. For example, the option --vrdpport 5000,5010-5012 will tell the server to bind to one of following ports: 5000, 5010, 5011 or 5012.
•--vrdpauthtype nullexternalguest: This allows you to choose whether and how authorization will be performed; see chapter 7.4.5, RDP authentication, page 104 for details.
•--vrdpmulticon onoff: This enables multiple VRDP connections to the same VRDP server; see chapter 7.4.7, VRDP multiple connections, page 105.
•--monitorcount <count>: This enables multi-monitor support for VRDP; see chapter 9.7, Multiple monitors for the guest, page 143.
•--usb onoff: This option enables or disables the VM’s virtual USB controller; see chapter 3.10.1, USB settings, page 56 for details.
•--usbehci onoff: This option enables or disables the VM’s virtual USB 2.0 controller; see chapter 3.10.1, USB settings, page 56 for details.
8.6 VBoxManage import
This command imports a virtual appliance in OVF format by copying the virtual disk images and creating virtual machines in VirtualBox. See chapter 1.11, Importing and exporting virtual machines, page 29 for an introduction to appliances.
The import subcommand takes at least the path name of an OVF file as input and expects the disk images, if needed, in the same directory as the OVF file. A lot of additional command-line options are supported to control in detail what is being imported and modify the import paramters, but the details depend on the content of the OVF file.
