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 setextradata VM-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/
.
