| 8 | The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> Guest Additions for Oracle Solaris are
|
|---|
| 9 | provided on the same ISO CD-ROM as the Additions for Windows
|
|---|
| 10 | and Linux. They come with an installation program that guides
|
|---|
| 11 | you through the setup process.
|
|---|
| 12 | </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>
|
|---|
| 14 | Installation involves the following steps:
|
|---|
| 15 | </p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 17 | <li>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | Mount the <filepath>VBoxGuestAdditions.iso</filepath> file
|
|---|
| 20 | as your Oracle Solaris guest's virtual CD-ROM drive,
|
|---|
| 21 | exactly the same way as described for a Windows guest in
|
|---|
| 22 | <xref href="mountingadditionsiso.dita#mountingadditionsiso"/>.
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>
|
|---|
| 25 | If the CD-ROM drive on the guest does not get mounted, as
|
|---|
| 26 | seen with some versions of Oracle Solaris 10, run the
|
|---|
| 27 | following command as root:
|
|---|
| 28 | </p>
|
|---|
| 29 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcadm restart volfs</pre>
|
|---|
| 30 | </li>
|
|---|
| 31 | <li>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | Change to the directory where your CD-ROM drive is mounted
|
|---|
| 34 | and run the following command as root:
|
|---|
| 35 | </p>
|
|---|
| 36 | <pre xml:space="preserve">pkgadd -G -d ./VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg</pre>
|
|---|
| 37 | </li>
|
|---|
| 38 | <li>
|
|---|
| 39 | <p>
|
|---|
| 40 | Choose <b outputclass="bold">1</b> and confirm
|
|---|
| 41 | installation of the Guest Additions package. After the
|
|---|
| 42 | installation is complete, log out and log in to X server
|
|---|
| 43 | on your guest, to activate the X11 Guest Additions.
|
