A Linux-specific change is mentioned as well – CPU hot-plugging. The function is currently supported only for Windows guests on 64-bit hosts. Page Fusion is also mentioned, with a new ability – to automatically de-duplicate RAM when running similar VMs thereby increasing capacity. Other changes documented by Oracle yesterday included the addition of memory ballooning, in order to dynamically increase, or decrease the amount of RAM used by a VM (64-bit hosts only). The report offered a link to a guide explaining how to get the job done. Softpedia readers may remember that, earlier this month, a report by Mac geek site OS X Daily claimed that VirtualBox could run Mac OS X in a virtual machine on Intel PCs. Oracle advises users to carefully review the manual for more information on this new addition. These operating systems run inside what is called “a virtual machine.”Īccording to the release notes made public by the Redwood City computer technology corporation that specializes in developing and marketing enterprise software products, VirtualBox 3.2.0 brings experimental support for Mac OS X guests. The application allows users to install additional operating systems over an existing one as guests. VirtualBox is a virtualization program for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
All references to Sun had been changed without impacting compatibility, Oracle said. Following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by Oracle Corporation, the virtualization solution originally developed by the former is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox.
