Sun hat die Virtualisierungslösung VirtualBox in Version 3.1 mit Live-Migration und gesteigerter Geschwindigkeit fertiggestellt.

VirtualBox ist eine Desktop-Virtualisierungslösung, die es ermöglicht, einen virtuellen PC in einem Fenster ablaufen zu lassen. Sie funktioniert ähnlich wie VMware und KVM.

VirtualBox 3.1 ist ein größeres Update. Zu den wichtigsten Neuerungen gegenüber der Version 3.0 zählt die »Teleportation«, über die sich Sitzungen virtueller Maschinen auf andere Rechner migrieren lassen. Diese Live-Migration, die ohne Unterbrechung der Netzwerkverbindungen vonstatten geht, soll auch funktionieren, wenn der Zielrechner eine andere CPU und ein anderes Betriebssystem als der ursprüngliche Rechner hat.

Sun hat nach eigenen Angaben die Geschwindigkeit gesteigert und weitere Unternehmens-Funktionen hinzugefügt. Der Status virtueller Maschinen kann von beliebigen Schnappschüssen statt nur vom letzten wieder hergestellt werden. Anwender dürfen Schnappschüsse von vorhandenen Schnappschüssen erstellen (verzweigte Schnappschüsse). Windows-Gastsysteme können für 2D-Beschleunigung auf die Grafikhardware des Hosts zugreifen und der Netzwerk-Attachment-Typ lässt sich ändern, während die betreffende virtuelle Maschine läuft. CD- und DVD-Laufwerke lassen sich beliebigen Controllern zuordnen, und es kann jetzt mehr als eines definiert werden.

Für Solaris-Hosts implementierten die Entwickler eine experimentelle USB-Unterstützung, welche die USB-Weiterentwicklungen in Solaris Nevada 124 und neuer nutzt.Für Solaris-Hosts implementierten die Entwickler eine experimentelle USB-Unterstützung, welche die USB-Weiterentwicklungen in Solaris Nevada 124 und neuer nutzt. Experimentell wird zudem EFI (Extended Firmware Interface) unterstützt. Durch die Verwendung von paravirtualisierten Netzwerktreibern (virtio-net) wurde auch die Netzwerkleistung nochmals verbessert.

VirtualBox 3.1 kommt weiterhin in einer Open-Source-Edition und einer proprietären Version, die einige Features mehr aufweist. Binärpakete von VirtualBox 3.1 sowie der Quellcode der Open-Source-Edition stehen zum Download bereit.

VirtualBox Version 3.2.0 is a major update. The following major new features were added:

    * Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the product is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox and all references were changed without impacting compatibility.
    * Experimental support for Mac OS X guests
    * Memory ballooning to dynamically in- or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only) (see the manual for more information)
    * CPU hot-plugging for Linux (hot-add and hot-remove) and certain Windows guests (hot-add only) (see the manual for more information)
    * New Hypervisor features: with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts, using large pages can improve performance (see the manual for more information); also, on VT-x, unrestricted guest execution is now supported (if nested paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and protected mode without paging code runs faster, which mainly speeds up guest OS booting)
    * Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running
    * Support for multi-monitor guest setups in the GUI (see the manual for more information)
    * USB tablet/keyboard emulation for improved user experience if no Guest Additions are available
    * LsiLogic SAS controller emulation
    * RDP video acceleration
    * NAT engine configuration via API and VBoxManage
    * Guest Additions: added support for executing guest applications from the host system
    * OVF: enhanced OVF support with custom namespace to preserve settings that are not part of the base OVF standard

In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:

    * VMM: fixed crash with the OpenSUSE 11.3 milestone kernel during early boot (software virtualization only)
    * VMM: fixed OS/2 guest crash with nested paging enabled
    * VMM: fixed Windows 2000 guest crash when configured with a large amount of RAM (bug 5800)
    * VMM: fixed massive display performance loss (AMD-V with nested paging only)
    * Linux/Solaris guests: PAM module for automatic logons added
    * GUI: guess the OS type from the OS name when creating a new VM

Version 3.2.0 Beta 3 (2010-05-12)

This version is a major update. The following major new features were added:

• Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the prod-
uct is now called “Oracle VM VirtualBox” and all references were changed with-
out impacting compatibility
• Experimental support for Mac OS X guests (see chapter 3.1.1, Mac OS X guests,
page 47)

guests (hot-add only) (see chapter 9.4, CPU hot-plugging, page 158)
• New Hypervisor features:  with both VT-x/AMD-V on 64-bit hosts, using large
pages can improve performance (see chapter 10.5, Nested paging and VPIDs, page
182); also, on VT-x, unrestricted guest execution is now supported (if nested
paging is enabled with VT-x, real mode and protected mode without paging code
runs faster, which mainly speeds up guest OS booting)
• Support for deleting snapshots while the VM is running
• Support for multi-monitor guest setups in the GUI for Windows guests (see chap-
ter 3.5, Display settings, page 53)
• USB tablet/keyboard emulation for improved user experience if no Guest Addi-
tions are available (see chapter 3.4.1, “Motherboard” tab, page 51).
• LsiLogic SAS controller emulation
• RDP video acceleration (see chapter 7.1.8, VRDP video redirection, page 111)
• NAT engine configuration via API and VBoxManage
• Use of host I/O cache is now configurable (see chapter 5.7, Disk images and I/O
caching, page 91)
• Guest Additions: added support for executing guest applications from the host
system (replaces the automatic system preparation feature)
• OVF: enhanced OVF support with custom namespace to preserve settings that
are not part of the base OVF standard
In addition, the following items were fixed and/or added:
• VMM: fixed Windows 2000 guest crash when configured with a large amount of
RAM (bug #5800)
• Linux/Solaris guests: PAM module for automatic logons added
• GUI: guess the OS type from the OS name when creating a new VM
• GUI: added VM setting for passing the time in UTC instead of passing the local
host time to the guest (bug #1310)
• GUI: fixed seamless mode on secondary monitors (bugs #1322 and #1669)
• GUI: offer to download the user manual in the OSE version (bug #6442)
• Main: allow to start a VM even if a virtual DVD or floppy medium is not accessible
• Settings: be more robust when saving the XML settings files
• Mac OS X: rewrite of the CoreAudio driver and added support for audio input
(bug #5869)
• Mac OS X: external VRDP authentication module support (bug #3106)
• Mac OS X: Moved the realtime dock preview settings to the VM settings (no
global option anymore). Use the dock menu to configure it.
• Mac OS X: added the VM menu to the dock menu
• 3D support: fixed corrupted surface rendering (bug #5695)
• 3D support: fixed VM crashes when using ARB_IMAGING (bug #6014)

piz
• Added support for virtual high precision event timer (HPET)
• OVF: fixed mapping between two IDE channels in OVF and the one IDE controller
in VirtualBox
• OVF:  fix  VMDK  format  string  identifiers  and  sort  XML  elements  from  rasd:
namespace alphabetically as prescribed by standard
• VBoxShell:   interactive  Python  shell  extended  to  be  fully  functional  TUI  for
VirtualBox

Das VirtualBox-Team hat Version 3.2 seiner Virtualisierungssoftware fertiggestellt. Oracle VM Virtualbox 3.2 unterstützt experimentell Mac OS X als Gastsystem und dynamische Speichergrößenanpassung (Memory Ballooning).

Weitere Neuerungen in VirtualBox  3.2 sind automatisches Page Fusion für Windows-Gäste auf 64-Bit-Systemen, was zu einer besseren Ram-Ausnutzung bei ähnlichen, gleichzeitig laufenden Virtuellen Maschinen führt und CPU-Hot-Plugging unter Linux. Der neue Hypervisor wurde performanter, Anwender können mit der neuen Version Schnappschüsse löschen, während die VM läuft. Windows-Gäste können bis zu acht Monitore ansteuern und es gibt eine Emulation für USB-Tablets und -tastaturen.

Die Entwickler spendierten der Virtualisierungsumgebung auch eine Emulation für LsiLogic-SAS-Controller sowie eine RDP-Video-Beschleunigung. Die NAT-Engine lässt sich mittels einer API und VBoxManage konfigurieren, die Nutzung des I/O-Caches des Hostsystems ist nun vom Anwender enstellbar.

Das Changelog listet alle Änderungen auf. Oracle VM Virtualbox 3.2 ist für privaten Gebrauch kostenlos für Linux, Mac OS X, Opensolaris und Windows im Downloadbereich des Projekts erhältlich, für die Nutzung innerhalb von Organisationen sind Enterprise-Lizenzen fällig, die ab 50 USD aufwärts kosten.
