8.3 VBoxManage registervm / unregistervm

The registervm command allows you to import a virtual machine definition in an
XML file into VirtualBox. There are some restrictions here: the machine must not
conflict with one already registered in VirtualBox and it may not have any hard or
removable disks attached. It is advisable to place the definition file in the machines
folder before registering it.

Note: When creating a new virtual machine with VBoxManage createvm
(see below), you can directly specify the --register option to avoid having
to register it separately.

The unregistervm command unregisters a virtual machine. If --delete is also

specified then the XML definition file will be deleted.
