| 8 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is available as a standard Oracle
|
|---|
| 9 | Solaris package. Download the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> SunOS
|
|---|
| 10 | package, which includes the 64-bit version of <ph
|
|---|
| 11 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. <i>The installation must be performed as
|
|---|
| 12 | root and from the global zone</i>. This is because the <ph
|
|---|
| 13 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> installer loads kernel drivers, which
|
|---|
| 14 | cannot be done from non-global zones. To verify which zone you are currently in, execute the
|
|---|
| 15 | <userinput>zonename</userinput> command. </p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>
|
|---|
| 17 | To start installation, run the following commands:
|
|---|
| 18 | </p>
|
|---|
| 19 | <pre xml:space="preserve">gunzip -cd VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>
|
|---|
| 21 | The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> kernel package is integrated into the main
|
|---|
| 22 | package. Install the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package as follows:
|
|---|
| 23 | </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <pre xml:space="preserve">pkgadd -d VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.pkg</pre>
|
|---|
| 25 | <p> The installer will then prompt you to enter the package you want to install. Choose <b
|
|---|
| 26 | outputclass="bold">1</b> or <b outputclass="bold">all</b> and proceed. Next the installer
|
|---|
| 27 | will ask you if you want to allow the postinstall script to be executed. Choose <b
|
|---|
| 28 | outputclass="bold">y</b> and proceed, as it is essential to execute this script which
|
|---|
| 29 | installs the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> kernel module. Following
|
|---|
| 30 | this confirmation the installer will install <ph
|
|---|
| 31 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> and execute the postinstall setup script. </p>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | Once the postinstall script has been executed your installation
|
|---|
| 34 | is now complete. You may now safely delete the uncompressed
|
|---|
| 35 | package and <filepath>autoresponse</filepath> files from your
|
|---|
| 36 | system. <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is installed in
|
|---|
| 37 | <filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath>.
