A problem with multiple VirtualBox VMs using the same TCP port
Hi.
I want to run multiple Windows VMs using Sun xVM VirtualBox on a Solaris 10 u5 server. The Windows instances use some TCP and UDP ports that I cannot change and in some cases they are the same for multiple instances of the VMs. The first thing I thought was running each VM in a separate zone with shared or exclusive IP but unfortunately I had a problem (I posted here in LQ and in VirtualBox forums but got no answer) which prevents me to use this approach and left me with the doubt if running VB in a Solaris 10 zone is even possible (official documentation says it is). I suspect the only option I'm left with would be using network virtualization with crossbow but I have no hope of seeing a solaris 10 update with a crossbow backport soon and cannot use OpenSolaris for this task. Do you guys think I'm missing some other option to accomplish this goal? Thank you for the help, Enrico. |

I have no clue. But ive heard that VB is only able to run one VM at a time. Therefore you want to run VB in multi zones, yes?

@vermaden: I've been checking and indeed it seems that the soon-to-be-shipped Sun xVM Server is what I was waiting for for Solaris 10.

The documentation I read about Xen@OpenSolaris and Sun xVM Server promises to solve this problem. Luckily I'll just wait a couple of months because switching to SXCE or OpenSolaris is not an option here. Bye, Enrico |
