On my LAN, I have:
- Machine A: An OS X machine running VirtualBox 3.2
- Machine B: An OS X machine running VirtualBox 4
Here's what I did:
-
first, create the image on machine A by running the Palm Emulator application.
-
open VirtualBox 3.2 on machine A to make sure it set up correctly. Run it and watch it boot. If it works fine, shut it down.
-
On Machine B, close all VBox VMs that are currently running, and close the VirtualBox application if it is running.
-
On Machine A, go to /Users//Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks and copy the
.isoand.vmdkfiles to the same path on Machine B -
On Machine A, go to /Users//Library/VirtualBox/Machines and copy the entire directory for the machine you created to the same path on Machine B.
-
Open /Users//Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml on Machine A in a text editor
-
in another text editor window, open /Users//Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml on Machine B
-
Copy the XML entry for the webOS VM from the
<MachineRegistry>section from the file on Machine A to the file on Machine B. The entry will look something like this:<MachineEntry uuid="{83ddfc89-aefb-42e7-b0c0-b47535644d6a}" src="Machines/SDK 3.0.0.625 (1024x768)/SDK 3.0.0.625 (1024x768).xml"/> -
Copy the XML entry for the webOS Emu Hard Disk from the
<HardDisks>section from the file on Machine A to the file on Machine B. The entry will look something like this:<HardDisk uuid="{896cdea9-cbee-4ad4-b2f9-28ece577fde8}" location="/Users/coj/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/SDK-3.0.0.625-1024x768.vmdk" format="VMDK" type="Normal"/> -
Copy the XML entry for the webOS VM Hard Disk from the
<DVDImages>section from the file on Machine A to the file on Machine B. The entry will look something like this:<Image uuid="{0ace88e3-b0ca-4bea-8d6c-ff0f459b35de}" location="/Users/coj/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/SDK-3.0.0.625-1024x768.iso"/> -
Save the file on Machine B.
-
Start VirtualBox 4 on Machine B. If everything worked, you should see an entry for your new webOS VM on the left. If not, make sure you did everything correctly!
