Vmintnet command adds a NIC to a VM, and attaches it to an internal network. The other 7 NICs are available for your experiments. VMAPI configures the first NIC in NAT + DHCP mode, so that you can SSH into the VM, and the VM can access Internet. VirtualBox allows up to 8 network cards (NICs) per VM.

They should be uncompressed and placed in osimage/$template/ You may download prepared guest OS templates.

VM hardware spec, which is a series of VBoxManage commands that configures the VM.

VMAPI creates VMs by cloning guest OS template, so that a VM can be ready in one or two minutes. OS installation is a long and tedious process.

Therefore you are changed into VMAPI host directory automatically, and can type VMAPI host commands without typing the full path.

Edit ~/.bashrc and append these line at the end:.Download VMAPI host scripts and place them into vmapi-host/ subdirectory.Create subdirectories under the VMAPI host directory: mkdir osimage vmapi-host vm vmdata vmdata/hostport.As a reference, a recently-created Ubuntu 12.04 VM, after installing ns-3.16 inside, takes 7.3GB. Make sure there is sufficient disk space. data1/vbox1) to store all files of a runner account. You can easily get a shell of a runner account with sudo -iu vbox1. Unless otherwise noted, all subsequent actions are executed in the shell of a runner account. It's a good idea to create a group that contains all runner accounts. If you have many VMs to deal with, you can create multiple runner accounts. It does not need (and should not be given) sudo privilege. It should be same as a regular user account (not a system / service account). You can create a runner account 'vbox1' with sudo adduser vbox1. This user account is called a runner account. It's a good idea to create a separate user account to run these processes, so that you won't accidentally kill a VM process (which would power off the VM). Guest OS must have an SSH server.Д®nvironment Setup Create a runner accountД®ach VM corresponds to a user-level process. It's not too difficult to support a new guest OS, if you understand the network configuration files of that OS.

You also need to install Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack to get VRDP support, which is necessary when preparing OS templates. I suggest not to compile VirtualBox from source because you are more likely to run into problems. On Ubuntu you can type sudo apt-get install virtualbox to install VirtualBox. VirtualBox must be installed on the host system. In addition, Intel VT-x and VT-d (or AMD's equivalent) should be enabled in BIOS settings, so that VMs can execute at the same speed of the physical machine. VMAPI is likely to work on other linux hosts, but I don't have time and resource to test them.Д¦4-bit CPU and 64-bit OS are required to run VirtualBox efficiently. VirtualBox has a headless frontend which can run without a graphic interface. A Server installation is preferred over the Desktop edition, because it contains significantly fewer packages, so that there's less overhead.

VMAPI is developed on Ubuntu 12.04, which is supported until April 2017. Recommended host system: Ubuntu Server 12.04 64-bit. VMAPI is a collection of scripts that allows easy creation of virtual machines and network topologies in Oracle VM VirtualBox.
