enum MachineState

Virtual machine execution state.

This enumeration represents possible values of the IMachine::state attribute.

Below is the basic virtual machine state diagram. It shows how the state changes during virtual machine execution. The text in square braces shows a method of the IConsole interface that performs the given state transition.

                +---------[powerDown()] <- Stuck <--[failure]-+
                V                                             |
        +-> PoweredOff --+-->[powerUp()]--> Starting --+      | +-----[resume()]-----+
        |                |                             |      | V                    |
        |   Aborted -----+                             +--> Running --[pause()]--> Paused
        |                                              |      ^ |                   ^ |
        |   Saved -----------[powerUp()]--> Restoring -+      | |                   | |
        |     ^                                               | |                   | |
        |     |     +-----------------------------------------+-|-------------------+ +
        |     |     |                                           |                     |
        |     |     +-- Saving <--------[takeSnapshot()]<-------+---------------------+
        |     |                                                 |                     |
        |     +-------- Saving <--------[saveState()]<----------+---------------------+
        |                                                       |                     |
        +-------------- Stopping -------[powerDown()]<----------+---------------------+

Note that states to the right from PoweredOff, Aborted and Saved in the above diagram are called online VM states. These states represent the virtual machine which is being executed in a dedicated process (usually with a GUI window attached to it where you can see the activity of the virtual machine and interact with it). There are two special pseudo-states, FirstOnline and LastOnline, that can be used in relational expressions to detect if the given machine state is online or not:

            if (machine.GetState() >= MachineState_FirstOnline &&
                machine.GetState() <= MachineState_LastOnline)
            {
                ...the machine is being executed...
            }

When the virtual machine is in one of the online VM states (that is, being executed), only a few machine settings can be modified. Methods working with such settings contain an explicit note about that. An attempt to change any oter setting or perform a modifying operation during this time will result in the VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE error.

All online states except Running, Paused and Stuck are transitional: they represent temporary conditions of the virtual machine that will last as long as the operation that initiated such a condition.

The Stuck state is a special case. It means that execution of the machine has reached the "Guru Meditation" condition. This condition indicates an internal VMM (virtual machine manager) failure which may happen as a result of either an unhandled low-level virtual hardware exception or one of the recompiler exceptions (such as the too-many-traps condition).

Note also that any online VM state may transit to the Aborted state. This happens if the process that is executing the virtual machine terminates unexpectedly (for example, crashes). Other than that, the Aborted state is equivalent to PoweredOff.

There are also a few additional state diagrams that do not deal with virtual machine execution and therefore are shown separately. The states shown on these diagrams are called offline VM states (this includes PoweredOff, Aborted and Saved too).

The first diagram shows what happens when a lengthy setup operation is being executed (such as IMachine::attachDevice).

        +----------------------------------(same state as before the call)------+
        |                                                                       |
        +-> PoweredOff --+                                                      |
        |                |                                                      |
        |-> Aborted -----+-->[lengthy VM configuration call] --> SettingUp -----+
        |                |
        +-> Saved -------+

The next two diagrams demonstrate the process of taking a snapshot of a powered off virtual machine, restoring the state to that as of a snapshot or deleting a snapshot, respectively.

        +----------------------------------(same state as before the call)------+
        |                                                                       |
        +-> PoweredOff --+                                                      |
        |                +-->[takeSnapshot()] -------------------> Saving ------+
        +-> Aborted -----+

        +-> PoweredOff --+
        |                |
        |   Aborted -----+-->[restoreSnapshot()    ]-------> RestoringSnapshot -+
        |                |   [deleteSnapshot()     ]-------> DeletingSnapshot --+
        +-> Saved -------+                                                      |
        |                                                                       |
        +---(Saved if restored from an online snapshot, PoweredOff otherwise)---+

Note that the Saving state is present in both the offline state group and online state group. Currently, the only way to determine what group is assumed in a particular case is to remember the previous machine state: if it was Running or Paused, then Saving is an online state, otherwise it is an offline state. This inconsistency may be removed in one of the future versions of VirtualBox by adding a new state.

Also, if paused while in this state it will transition to MachineState::Saving and it will not be resume the execution until the snapshot operation has completed.

enum USBDeviceState

USB device state.

This enumeration represents all possible states of the USB device physically attached to the host computer regarding its state on the host computer and availability to guest computers (all currently running virtual machines).

Once a supported USB device is attached to the host, global USB filters (IHost::USBDeviceFilters) are activated. They can either ignore the device, or put it to USBDeviceState_Held state, or do nothing. Unless the device is ignored by global filters, filters of all currently running guests (IUSBController::deviceFilters) are activated that can put it to USBDeviceState_Captured state.

If the device was ignored by global filters, or didn't match any filters at all (including guest ones), it is handled by the host in a normal way. In this case, the device state is determined by the host and can be one of USBDeviceState_Unavailable, USBDeviceState_Busy or USBDeviceState_Available, depending on the current device usage.

Besides auto-capturing based on filters, the device can be manually captured by guests (IConsole::attachUSBDevice) if its state is USBDeviceState_Busy, USBDeviceState_Available or USBDeviceState_Held.

Note:
  Due to differences in USB stack implementations in Linux and Win32, states USBDeviceState_Busy and USBDeviceState_vailable are applicable only to the Linux version of the product. This also means that (IConsole::attachUSBDevice) can only succeed on Win32 if the device state is USBDeviceState_Held.
