Let's be clear on one thing we *DO NOT* recommend petitecloud be used with
windows guests (currently) because the only way to run them is on qemu
which, until some kind sole fixes KQEMU, runs so slow it unusable (2 hrs to
run bsdinstall on a minimal install list)... the other option is vbox but I
simply can't figure out how to run it headless (from a boot script
specifically) this combined with the fact that unclear from Oracle's
documentation if such a mode is possible [I have figured out how to script
but there seems no easy way to run without a GUI {a very early version of
petitecloud used this as a possible front end but we decided against due to
Xorg not being universal})]... so it seems that petitecloud will just have
to wait for either of the two items to be sorted out... therefore I will
repeat an offer to give $50 anyone who can show/help us solve the above two
problems and be listed as a petitecloud contributor

Sure thing, Aryeh !
I'll share to the list so everyone can benefit from it, if
useful.
I created the script x-vms (bellow) and placed it
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
Added the line "vms_anable=YES" to /etc/rc.conf
In our environment, the script starts (after network REQUIRE) 4
different VMs: W2008, PfSense, W7 and W2012.
For the shutdown, the VM OSes must "respect" the ACPI command. These
four do, but I've come across some that didn't.
3 of the VMs have RDP/VNC disabled so the only way to access them is
via the OS mechanisms (RDP/web interface)
The win7 VM, I enabled VBOX vnc interface on the host, by
running these:
VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack VNC
VBoxManage modifyvm Win7 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword=whatever
VBoxManage modifyvm Win7 --vrdeproperty VNCAddress4=172.16.3.1
VBoxManage modifyvm Win7 --vrdeproperty VNCPort4=5901
VBoxManage modifyvm Win7 --vrdeauthlibrary null
which actually adds this to the VM config file:
I did this because a needed to access the VM from outside its internal
interface methods.
There is one thing that I should mention, which probably has more to do
with X-forwarding in ssh than with Vbox.
When all the VMs are running and I ssh to the FBSD host, I start up the
qt GUI (VirtualBox). It comes up fine. I can create and do everything
from it EXCEPT start any machine. If I try to start (to see/test if it
comes up fine), it complains tha it could no allocate an X session for
it.
But if I close VirtualBox GUI and start the machine from VBoxSDL, it
comes up fine !!
Well, there you have it.
As for the $50, if what I posted proves useful to you, please save it!
If we ever meet some day, a nice cold beer for both of us will be on
you :) !
Best wishes,
