I wrote about the VirtualBox VM guest import step on Windows before.
VirtualBox: Import on different platform (INOUE Katsumi @ Tokyo)
The picture below is from Windows. On Linux, it will be named "vboxnet0" by default.
Here's the equivalent step on Linux.
If you create a guest with Host-only network on Windows and export it and import on Linux, it will likely fail to start up.
$vboxmanage startvm Node01 --type headless Waiting for VM "Node01" to power on... VBoxManage: error: Nonexistent host networking interface, name 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR) VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole, callee
So, confirm the network name.
$vboxmanage list hostonlyifs Name: vboxnet0 GUID: 786f6276-656e-4074-8000-0a0027000000 Dhcp: Disabled IPAddress: 192.168.56.1 NetworkMask: 255.255.255.0 IPV6Address: fe80:0000:0000:0000:0800:27ff:fe00:0000 IPV6NetworkMaskPrefixLength: 64 HardwareAddress: 0a:00:27:00:00:00 MediumType: Ethernet Status: Up VBoxNetworkName: HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0
Modify the VM.
$vboxmanage modifyvm Node01 --hostonlyadapter1 vboxnet0
Now, it will start.
$vboxmanage startvm Node01 --type headless Waiting for VM "Node01" to power on... VM "Node01" has been successfully started.
