I found that, but is RDP not possible?

New to KVM, and have just installed my first VM, windows 8.1. What do I need to do in order to remote desktop to it?

Installing the guest additions onto the VM itself resolved the resolution and mouse lag issues. I have also configured the shared drives through the VM, and they mapped into the windows7 VM perfectly. Thank you for all the assistance!

Yes the cache drive will just be the boot drive, data will reside on the array. I just installed Windows 7 64bit with 1gig RAM and 80% of 4 cores. I have extreme mouse lag, the mouse is so out of sync it is unusable. I would also like more resolution options, I can go 1600x1200 with 128megs video RAM but I cannot get 1080p resolution to match my remote monitors. Do I need to install Guess Extensions on the Windows 7 VM? I already have it installed in the unraid VirtualBox plugin, but not sure if Windows needs it installed? What else can I try to fix the mouse (priority) and screen resolution?

I think I prefer to use cache, I don't want to spin up my array for VMs. What is the disadvantage of using cache? **EDIT** Found the setting to modify the virtual hard drive directory, now looking for whether installing to cache is a good idea or not?

How do I get the virtual machine to go on my cache drive? I have created a directory on my cache drive that won't be touched by the mover script, but I don't know the steps to take when creating the new machine. My choices are "No virtual hard drive", "Create a virtual hard drive now", or "use an existing virtual hard drive". Which do I choose, and what do I do next?

What are the options and a recommendation for hard disk allocation to virtual machines when running virtualbox under unraid? Do I use the unraid array, with a user share? Do I install a hard disk on the server outside the array? Can I use my cache drive?

Success! Un-installing the web server and re-installing again now has the webserver running when pointed to phpvirtualbox.

5.0.6 Web server was running properly but under previously incorrect dynamics install that would disappear after restart. Now that I have re-installed everything, web server is now giving the above error.

Dynamix is now surviving my server reboots, but my web server status is stopped, and I am getting an error in the web server log: PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/gd.so' - libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on Line 0 My web root directory is set the directory on my cache drive where phpVirtualBox is unzipped to. I have renamed my webserver config file to config.php already, and in config.php I have set var $location = 'http://192.168.0.15:18083/' which is the ipaddress of my unraid server with the port specified in my VirtualBox plugin. I have also edited the dynamix.php.cfg to remove the ';' from extension=soap.so to enable soap. What could be causing the web server log error? Also, what should my vboxwebsrv HOST IP be set to in virtualbox plugin? I have it set to my unraid IP address right now instead of the default 127.0.0.1?

I thought I had it correct, only Dynamix WebGUI is in my plugins folder, the rest is in config/plugins. Sounds like I need to start from scratch with Dynamix, I will remove all the entries from plugins and config/plugins. Can you tell me the proper steps to install, my goal is to have the Dynamix web server installed to support my virtualbox implementation. **EDIT** I found instructions at https://github.com/bergware/dynamix for installation, this should resolve it, thanks!

Almost none of the new plugins that I have installed for virtualbox are surviving a server re-boot except for Virtualbox plugin and Virtualbox Guest additions. When I reboot, I lose Virtualbox install, and Virtualbox Extensions install, I lose Dynamix Webgui, Dynamix plugin control, and Dynamix web server. All of the plg files are located in my flash drive under config/plugins, so I thought these would re-install every boot? The weird thing is that while I do not see anything for dynamix in the menu or services, I still get the screen/GUI enhancements from Dynamix webGUI...... but there is no Web Server under Services for me to configure.

I found out I need to install SimpleFeatures webserver, and phpVirtualBox. I am trying to isntall SimpleFeatures webserver, I installed the plg file, but when I go to the GUI, see the following warning, and the status is stopped: Warning: parse_ini_file(/var/local/emhttp/simpleFeatures.web.server.ini): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/simpleFeatures.webServer/WEBsettings.php on line 11

I have installed VirtualBox for the first time, and am trying to access it after installing the packages through the plugin successfully. I have update the IP address to match my unraid server, but when I go to http://192.168.0.15:18083/ then I get the following error: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
