    Solution

    VM configurations

    Custom Image Requirements

    • The image must be set up for BIOS boot.
    • Only one disk is supported with maxium size 300G and with valid MBR bootloader
    • Image should not be encrypted.

    By default VirtualBox creates disks in vdi format remember to select vmdk. If you selected vdi,  we can change it later to vmdk - see Convert to vmdk section. Please note OCI supports ONLY vmdk and qcow2 format.
