4 <title>Starting a VM with Encrypted Images</title>

6 <body>
7 <p>
8 When a VM is started using <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>, a dialog will open where
9 the user needs to enter all passwords for all encrypted images
10 attached to the VM. If another frontend like VBoxHeadless is
11 used, the VM will be paused as soon as the guest tries to access
12 an encrypted disk. The user needs to provide the passwords
13 through <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> using the following
14 command:
15 </p>
16 <pre xml:space="preserve">VBoxManage controlvm <varname>uuid</varname>|<varname>vmname</varname> addencpassword <varname>ID</varname>
17 <varname>password</varname> [--removeonsuspend yes|no]</pre>
18 <p><varname>ID</varname> must be the same as the password
19 identifier supplied when encrypting the images.
20 <varname>password</varname> is the password used when
21 encrypting the images. Optionally, you can specify
22 <codeph>--removeonsuspend</codeph> yes|no to specify whether to
23 remove the password from VM memory when the VM is suspended.
24 Before the VM can be resumed, the user needs to supply the
25 passwords again. This is useful when a VM is suspended by a host
26 suspend event and the user does not want the password to remain
27 in memory.
