Member Function Documentation

void IInternalMachineControl::setRemoveSavedStateFile ( in boolean  aRemove  ) 

Updates the flag whether the saved state file is removed on a machine state change from Saved to PoweredOff.

void IInternalMachineControl::updateState ( in MachineState  state  ) 

Updates the VM state.

Note:
This operation will also update the settings file with the correct information about the saved state file and delete this file from disk when appropriate.

void IInternalMachineControl::getIPCId ( [retval] out wstring  id  ) 

void IInternalMachineControl::beginPowerUp ( in IProgress  aProgress  ) 

Tells VBoxSVC that IConsole::powerUp is under ways and gives it the progress object that should be part of any pending IMachine::launchVMProcess operations.

The progress object may be called back to reflect an early cancelation, so some care have to be taken with respect to any cancelation callbacks. The console object will call IInternalMachineControl::endPowerUp to signal the completion of the progress object.

void IInternalMachineControl::endPowerUp ( in long  result  ) 

Tells VBoxSVC that IConsole::powerUp has completed.

This method may query status information from the progress object it received in IInternalMachineControl::beginPowerUp and copy it over to any in-progress IMachine::launchVMProcess call in order to complete that progress object.

void IInternalMachineControl::beginPoweringDown ( out IProgress  progress  ) 

Called by the VM process to inform the server it wants to stop the VM execution and power down.

Parameters:
progress Progress object created by VBoxSVC to wait until the VM is powered down.

void IInternalMachineControl::endPoweringDown ( in long  result,
in wstring  errMsg 
)

Called by the VM process to inform the server that powering down previously requested by beginPoweringDown is either successfully finished or there was a failure.

Parameters:
result S_OK to indicate success.
errMsg human readable error message in case of failure.
Expected result codes:
VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR Settings file not accessible.
VBOX_E_XML_ERROR Could not parse the settings file.

void IInternalMachineControl::runUSBDeviceFilters ( in IUSBDevice  device,
out boolean  matched,
out unsigned long  maskedInterfaces 
)

Asks the server to run USB devices filters of the associated machine against the given USB device and tell if there is a match.

Note:
Intended to be used only for remote USB devices. Local ones don't require to call this method (this is done implicitly by the Host and USBProxyService).

void IInternalMachineControl::captureUSBDevice ( in wstringUUID  id  ) 

Requests a capture of the given host USB device.

When the request is completed, the VM process will get a IInternalSessionControl::onUSBDeviceAttach notification.

void IInternalMachineControl::detachUSBDevice ( in wstringUUID  id,
in boolean  done 
)

Notification that a VM is going to detach (done = false) or has already detached (done = true) the given USB device.

When the done = true request is completed, the VM process will get a IInternalSessionControl::onUSBDeviceDetach notification.

Note:
In the done = true case, the server must run its own filters and filters of all VMs but this one on the detached device as if it were just attached to the host computer.

void IInternalMachineControl::autoCaptureUSBDevices (  ) 

Requests a capture all matching USB devices attached to the host.

When the request is completed, the VM process will get a IInternalSessionControl::onUSBDeviceAttach notification per every captured device.

void IInternalMachineControl::detachAllUSBDevices ( in boolean  done  ) 

Notification that a VM that is being powered down.

The done parameter indicates whether which stage of the power down we're at. When done = false the VM is announcing its intentions, while when done = true the VM is reporting what it has done.

Note:
In the done = true case, the server must run its own filters and filters of all VMs but this one on all detach devices as if they were just attached to the host computer.

void IInternalMachineControl::onSessionEnd ( in ISession  session,
[retval] out IProgress  progress 
)

Triggered by the given session object when the session is about to close normally.

Parameters:
session Session that is being closed
progress Used to wait until the corresponding machine is actually dissociated from the given session on the server. Returned only when this session is a direct one.

void IInternalMachineControl::beginSavingState ( out IProgress  progress,

void IInternalMachineControl::lockMedia (  ) 

Locks all media attached to the machine for writing and parents of attached differencing media (if any) for reading.

This operation is atomic so that if it fails no media is actually locked.

This method is intended to be called when the machine is in Starting or Restoring state. The locked media will be automatically unlocked when the machine is powered off or crashed.

void IInternalMachineControl::unlockMedia (  ) 

Unlocks all media previously locked using IInternalMachineControl::lockMedia.

This method is intended to be used with teleportation so that it is possible to teleport between processes on the same machine.
