You can configure Oracle VM VirtualBox to present up to four custom ACPI tables to the guest. Use a command such as the following to configure custom ACPI tables. Note that CustomTable1
, CustomTable2
, and CustomTable3
are available in addition to CustomTable0
.
$ VBoxManage setextradataVM-name
\ "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/CustomTable0" "/path-to-table
.bin"
Configuring custom ACPI tables can for example avoid the need for asking for a new product key on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and later guests. On Linux hosts, one of the system's ACPI tables can be read from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
.
