How to install vm into virtualbox

[ric]

I've installed virtualbox template using Add Jail but I'm having trouble on how to install or locate/map the ISO image file and so that I can mount it into SATA controller and boot it from there.

Can someone provide some info (Step-by-step instructions). Thanks.

1. Add storage to the VirtualBox jail.
2. Place the ISO in that storage, using whatever method you prefer (SFTP, copy to a share etc.)
3. Most likely you'll be mounting the ISO image in a virtual IDE device, not a SATA device. This is something you do in the VM settings.

I'm not really sure how to do this part. Please provide some info on how can I accomplish this.

Share a directory via NFS or CIFS and then copy the file over.

You could also use the shell and wget the file.

For example if you wanted to install the latest at the time of this post version of freenas 10 you would navigate to a directory and then do

Code:

wget http://download.freenas.org/10/MASTER/201511170035/x64/FreeNAS-10.2-ALPHA-201511170035-b72aa21-x64.iso

I am interested to try this new release of FreenNAS-10.2. How would you really proceed on upgrading from FreeNAS-9.3 to this new build (FreeNAS-10.2) using the command line?

..appreciate it.

Thanks.

There is no release of FreeNAS 10.2. There is an Alpha of 10.2. There is no way to upgrade from 9.x to 10.2-ALPHA. If you have questions about the 10.2 Alpha, start a new thread in the appropriate forum.
