Sun xVM Virtualbox 3.1.0
30/11/09
Nouvelle version majeure du virtualisateur de système d’exploitation de Sun qui marque une nouvelle étape dans son développement, la version 3.1.
Quelques jours après avoir sorti une dernière version de maintenance de la branche 3.0, Sun nous propose de vraies nouveautés et beaucoup d’améliorations. On pourra d’ailleurs noter l’arrivée du « Live Migration » pour pouvoir exporter une machine virtuelle d’un PC à un autre, les clichés d’états ou instantanés (ou encore « Snapshots ») peuvent être sélectionnés indépendamment les uns des autres, en créer à partir d’un premier pour en faire des étapes à la façon d’une arborescence. Le support de l’accélération 2D dans les systèmes invités Windows, d’un support plus flexible des attachements de lecteurs virtuels et des réseaux (un lecteur CD peut être attaché à un contrôleur IDE arbitraire et les cartes réseaux peuvent être changés alors que la machine est en cours de fonctionnement.
Le support USB a été réécrit pour les hôtes Solaris, un support expérimental de l’EFI et des cartes réseaux paravirtualisés. Pour terminer, les supports de la virtualisation matérielle Intel VT-x et AMD-V auront droit à une amélioration des performances.
Mais le reste du changelog apporte plus de renseignements par rapports aux autres améliorations :
