VirtualBox supports the execution of guest operating systems in fully virtualized
machines—a capability that allows the guest to run without requiring any special
software or device drivers. The guest operating system is presented with a virtual
motherboard with the following features.
1 to 32 CPUs
■
Up to 32 GB of memory
■
A dual-channel IDE disk controller with up to four devices
■
An optional Serial ATA (SATA) disk controller with up to 30 attached devices
■
An optional SCSI controller with up to 16 attached devices
■
Up to 8 PCI network host adapters
■
Keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) console
■
Either a legacy BIOS or EFI firmware
■
The next several sections describe details of the VirtualBox guest platform.
Unlike Oracle VM Server for SPARC (previously called Sun Logical Domains),
VirtualBox does not directly assign CPU resources to the guest domain. Instead,
virtual CPUs are presented to the guest and time-sliced on real CPUs using the
host system's scheduling facilities. The number of CPUs allocated for each guest
can be specified in the Processor tab of the guest machine's System settings, as
shown in Figure 5.3.
