We are trying to improve the reliability and robustness of the vboxwrapper. This version has a revised polling function that follows the VBox log file rather than hammering on the showvminfo command every second. Logging messages have also been improved to help get a handle on issues. This release is only for Windows. Please let us know how it goes and report back any issues that you may find e.g. VMs not being cleaned up properly. |

Please let us know how it goes and report back any issues that you may find ... I first tried running one and noted that the "Show graphics" port is 7859 (in vbox_webapi.xml). That was suspect to me and decided to request a second task and indeed that VM got the same portnumber. Now you are not able to see the graphics from both VM's and more important not the Logs of both machines.

Does the same apply to the remote desktop port? |

Does the same apply to the remote desktop port? No, they are different (randomly). |

The only problem I had with this version was if I tried suspending tasks and restarting them they would start back over at 0% again BUT keep the time elapsed. I did it again today after they had about 10+ hours and 45% done and they started over at 0% again. I will d/l the 3.04 version after midnight since my DSL doesn't like me d/ling those huge vdi's on the 6 pc's I have running these. (and then trying to get those VB's to start before the 20mins since there are about 30 cores) Edit: I just checked and 2 of them already did the d/l of the 3.04 version but as slows as this dsl is running right now I probably can't start any new tasks for a few hours......

The problem with starting from 0% after suspending and restarting has the same root cause that the web application port problem has. It is all due to a change we made to the checkpointing feature of the wrapper that we don't use. This has been fixed on the 3.04 version and neither the web port nor the restarting should be broken. |
