<h1>VirtualBox hypervisor driver</h1>
<p>
The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version
from version 2.2 onwards.
</p>
<h2>Connections to VirtualBox driver</h2>
<p>
The libvirt VirtualBox driver provides per-user drivers (the "session" instance).
The uri of the driver protocol is "vbox". Some example conection URIs for the driver are:
</p>
<pre>
vbox:///session (local access to per-user instance)
vbox+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
vbox+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
vbox+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
</pre>
