When the machine_setup script has been edited to accept the EULA and the memory parameter adjusted, execute the script. The script takes about 5-10 minutes to execute depending on your host PC. When the script finishes, both the source and target machines should be run and running and available to log into.

 

Note

Before running the machine_setup script

check

ensure that these two steps have been completed:

  • Check the Host-only Network Configuration in the Virtual Box settings.
  • If you already had VirtualBox installed, check that you have a Host-only network configured on the host. If this is a fresh install of VirtualBox, check that the Host-only network adapter is configured.
  • Use the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager GUI, Select File --> Preferences, then in the VirtualBox - Settings window, select Network. In the Network pane, select the Host-only Networks tab and check you have an entry named vboxnet0. If not, click the add host-only network button to add it.

 

  • Accept the Virtual Box licence agreement: Before running the setup scripts please ensure you alter the script to accept the Virtual Box licence agreement - this is detailed in 03 - Accept the License Agreement

What the script does

Imports the source and target machines into VirtualBox, sets up the Host-only adapter in the network settings, sets up the shared folder drive, sets the snapshot folder and snapshot the machine as a fresh clean starting position that can be returned to if required. The machine_setup scrip script will then start both source and target machines.
