Member Function Documentation

◆ refresh()

void ICloudMachine::refresh ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Refresh information by reading it from the cloud.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ getDetailsForm()

void ICloudMachine::getDetailsForm ( [retval] out IForm  form)

Obtain a form with the current settings for this cloud machine.

The form is not editable.

Parameters
formA form with the cloud machine settings.

◆ getSettingsForm()

void ICloudMachine::getSettingsForm ( out IForm  form,
[retval] out IProgress  progress 
)

Obtain a form with settings for this cloud machine.

The form is editable.

Parameters
formA form with the cloud machine settings.
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ powerUp()

void ICloudMachine::powerUp ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Start cloud virtual machine execution.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ reboot()

void ICloudMachine::reboot ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Reboot cloud virtual machine.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ reset()

void ICloudMachine::reset ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Forcing reset or hard reset of a cloud virtual machine.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ shutdown()

void ICloudMachine::shutdown ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Shutdown cloud virtual machine.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ powerDown()

void ICloudMachine::powerDown ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Initiates the power down procedure to stop the virtual machine execution.

The completion of the power down procedure is tracked using the returned IProgress object. After the operation is complete, the machine will go to the PoweredOff state.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.
Expected result codes:
VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATEVirtual machine must be Running, to be powered down.

◆ terminate()

void ICloudMachine::terminate ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Terminate cloud virtual machine.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ unregister()

void ICloudMachine::unregister ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Unregister this cloud machine, but leave the cloud artifacts intact.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ remove()

void ICloudMachine::remove ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Unregister this cloud machine and delete all its cloud artifacts.

Parameters
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ getConsoleHistory()

void ICloudMachine::getConsoleHistory ( out IDataStream  stream,
[retval] out IProgress  progress 
)

Get the backlog of the machine's console.

If you have ever seen console teletypes, this is like looking at the last few meters of the paper it spewed.

Parameters
streamData stream object for reading the console history. For now we are abusing/repurposing this interface from the media convertion API to avoid marshalling a huge string through xpcom.
progressProgress object to track the operation completion.

◆ createConsoleConnection()

void ICloudMachine::createConsoleConnection ( in wstring  sshPublicKey,
[retval] out IProgress  progress 
)

◆ deleteConsoleConnection()

void ICloudMachine::deleteConsoleConnection ( [retval] out IProgress  progress)

Member Data Documentation

◆ id

readonly attribute wstringUUID ICloudMachine::id

UUID of the cloud machine.

◆ accessible

readonly attribute boolean ICloudMachine::accessible

Whether this virtual machine is currently accessible or not.

TBD...

◆ accessError

readonly attribute IVirtualBoxErrorInfo ICloudMachine::accessError

Error information describing the reason of machine inaccessibility.

Reading this property is only valid after the last call to accessible returned false (i.e. the machine is currently inaccessible). Otherwise, a null IVirtualBoxErrorInfo object will be returned.

◆ name

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::name

Convenience shortcut to retrieve the name of the cloud machine.

The name is part of the machine settings that are hidden behind the settings form (see getSettingsForm).

◆ OSTypeId

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::OSTypeId

Convenience shortcut to retrieve the OS Type id of the cloud machine.

It is part of the machine settings that are hidden behind the settings form (see getSettingsForm).

◆ state

readonly attribute CloudMachineState ICloudMachine::state

Machine state.

◆ consoleConnectionFingerprint

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::consoleConnectionFingerprint

The fingerprint of the ssh key that is authorized to access the machine's console connection.

◆ serialConsoleCommand

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::serialConsoleCommand

The shell command to establish ssh connection to the cloud machine serial console.

◆ serialConsoleCommandWindows

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::serialConsoleCommandWindows

The PowerShell command to establish ssh connection to the cloud machine serial console using PuTTY's plink.

◆ VNCConsoleCommand

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::VNCConsoleCommand

The shell command to establish ssh port forwarding for the VNC connection to the cloud machine console.

◆ VNCConsoleCommandWindows

readonly attribute wstring ICloudMachine::VNCConsoleCommandWindows

The PowerShell command to establish ssh port forwarding for the VNC connection to the cloud machine console using PuTTY's plink.
