Oracle Vm Virtualbox Tutorial For Complete Beginners

This book was written to help you start working with Oracle VM VirtualBox, a free, open source, cross-platform application for creating, managing and running virtual machines. If you didn't previously work with a virtualization solution such as Oracle VM VirtualBox, this book is for you. This book was written for people without much experience in the world of virtualization. Although the book presumes some knowledge about computer systems in general, it is customized for beginners. You will learn how to download, install, and manage virtual machines using Oracle VM VirtualBox. You will learn how to create, move, or delete a virtual machine, install a guest operating system inside a virtual machine, how to create and delete virtual disk, how to configure virtual networks, and much more. Here is a list of topics covered in this book: Introduction to virtualization - what is virtualization, benefits of virtualization, what is Oracle VM VirtualBox, VirtualBox features. Installation - system requirements for VirtualBox, where to download your copy of the software, Windows and Ubuntu installations. Create virtual machines - what is a virtual machine, how to create a VM in VirtualBox, what is a guest operating system, what are Guest Additions. Use virtual machines - start and pause a VM, take a snapshot, restore a snapshot, clone a virtual machine Manage virtual machines - change the VM name, move a VM, display log files. Configure devices - add a DVD or CD-ROM drive, add a floppy drive, USB settings. Configure networking - what is virtual networking, configure NAT, bridged, host-only, and internal networking.

This book is a guide on how to use VirtualBox. It begins by guiding you on how to get started with VirtualBox by installing and configuring it in Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Solaris platforms. You are then guided on how to create your first virtual machine in the VirtualBox. The process of creating a Hadoop cluster in VirtualBox is also discussed. This has been explained in a step-by-step manner to help you grasp every concept. With VM groups, one can group together virtual machines. With this, a single action can be applied to all the virtual machines which are contained in the group. This book guides you on how to create a VM group in VirtualBox. You are also shown how to emulate a network by use of common networking devices such as routers and PCs in a VirtualBox. The VirtualBox extension pack is very essential, as it helps us accomplish much in a VirtualBox. This book teaches you how to install and set it up in VirtualBox. The book also guides you on how you can share folders between the guest and the host in a VirtualBox. The process of adding new drives to the virtual machines is explored. The following topics are discussed in this book: - Getting Started with VirtualBox - Creating the First Virtual Machine - Creating a Hadoop Cluster - Creating and Managing VM Groups - Emulating a Network in VirtualBox - Installing VirtualBox Extension Pack - Sharing Folders between Host and Guest in VirtualBox - Adding a New Drive to Virtual Machines

This tutorial complements the “Bringing GEOSS services into practice” workshop available at http://www.geossintopractice.org.

Quickly learn how to use Ubuntu, the fastest growing Linux distribution, in a personal or enterprise environment Whether you're a newcomer to Linux or an experienced system administrator, the Ubuntu Linux Bible provides what you need to get the most out of one the world's top Linux distributions. Clear, step-by-step instructions cover everything from installing Ubuntu and creating your desktop, to writing shell scripts and setting up file sharing on your network. This up-to-date guide covers the latest Ubuntu release with long-term support (version 20.04) as well as the previous version. Throughout the book, numerous examples, figures, and review questions with answers ensure that you will fully understand each key topic. Organized into four parts, the book offers you the flexibility to master the basics in the "Getting Started with Ubuntu Linux" section, or to skip directly to more advanced tasks. "Ubuntu for Desktop Users" shows you how to setup email, surf the web, play games, and create and publish documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. "Ubuntu for System Administrators" covers user administration, system backup, device management, network configuration, and other fundamentals of Linux administration. The book's final section, "Configuring Servers on Ubuntu," teaches you to use Ubuntu to support network servers for the web, e-mail, print services, networked file sharing, DHCP (network address management), and DNS (network name/address resolution). This comprehensive, easy-to-use guide will help you: Install Ubuntu and create the perfect Linux desktop Use the wide variety of software included with Ubuntu Linux Stay up to date on recent changes and new versions of Ubuntu Create and edit graphics, and work with consumer IoT electronic devices Add printers, disks, and other devices to your system Configure core network services and administer Ubuntu systems Ubuntu Linux Bible is a must-have for anyone looking for an accessible, step-by-step tutorial on this hugely popular Linux operating system.

Information Technology has come a long way in the past 5-10 years and one of the greatest advancements in this field has to be that of virtualizing computers and servers in order to save IT administrators a lot of time and their companies a lot of money when it comes to building their backend systems. And now we can even go beyond virtualizing computers and virtualize our networks as well. Because virtualization allows us to run multiple computers (machines) on one piece of hardware it makes it's easy to set up multiple systems quickly and also allows a way for us to set up "test" systems that we can use for our labs to test out new software and operating systems. Then when we are done, we simply wipe out that test system and it was like it was never there. Since virtualization is so common within organizations, it was just a matter of time before it was implemented on a smaller scale so we could use it on our desktops. Now we have software like Oracle's VirtualBox that allow us to create multiple virtual machines within one physical machine (your desktop computer) and even let them communicate with each other via their virtual networks. The goal of this book is to get you up and running with VirtualBox and cover all the things you need to know to get you started on creating virtual machines and a virtualized environment without confusing you at the same time. It sticks with the basics yet covers a wide variety of topics to help you achieve some great looking results without needing to be a movie editing expert. The chapters in the book cover the following topics: Chapter 1 - What is Virtualization and VirtualBox? Chapter 2 - Installing VirtualBox Chapter 3 - The VirtualBox Manager Chapter 4 - Creating a Virtual Machine (VM) Chapter 5 - Virtual Machine Settings Chapter 6 - Networking Chapter 7 - Preferences and Additional Features About the Author James Bernstein has been working with various companies in the IT field since 2000, managing technologies such as SAN and NAS storage, VMware, backups, Windows Servers, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Networking, Microsoft Office, Exchange, and more. He has obtained certifications from Microsoft, VMware, CompTIA, ShoreTel, and SNIA, and continues to strive to learn new technologies to further his knowledge on a variety of subjects. He is also the founder of the website OnlineComputerTips.com, which offers its readers valuable information on topics such as Windows, networking, hardware, software, and troubleshooting. Jim writes much of the content himself and adds new content on a regular basis. The site was started in 2005 and is still going strong today.
