| 8 | Oracle VM VirtualBox is available as a standard Oracle Solaris
|
|---|
| 9 | package. Download the Oracle VM VirtualBox SunOS package, which
|
|---|
| 10 | includes the 64-bit version of Oracle VM VirtualBox. <i>The
|
|---|
| 11 | installation must be performed as root and from the global
|
|---|
| 12 | zone</i>. This is because the Oracle VM VirtualBox installer
|
|---|
| 13 | loads kernel drivers, which cannot be done from non-global
|
|---|
| 14 | zones. To verify which zone you are currently in, execute the
|
|---|
| 15 | <userinput>zonename</userinput> command.
|
|---|
| 16 | </p>
|
|---|
| 17 | <p>
|
|---|
| 18 | To start installation, run the following commands:
|
|---|
| 19 | </p>
|
|---|
| 20 | <pre xml:space="preserve">gunzip -cd VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
|
|---|
| 21 | <p>
|
|---|
| 22 | The Oracle VM VirtualBox kernel package is integrated into the main
|
|---|
| 23 | package. Install the Oracle VM VirtualBox package as follows:
|
|---|
| 24 | </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <pre xml:space="preserve">pkgadd -d VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.pkg</pre>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | The installer will then prompt you to enter the package you wish
|
|---|
| 28 | to install. Choose <b outputclass="bold">1</b> or
|
|---|
| 29 | <b outputclass="bold">all</b> and proceed. Next the
|
|---|
| 30 | installer will ask you if you want to allow the postinstall
|
|---|
| 31 | script to be executed. Choose <b outputclass="bold">y</b>
|
|---|
| 32 | and proceed, as it is essential to execute this script which
|
|---|
| 33 | installs the Oracle VM VirtualBox kernel module. Following this
|
|---|
| 34 | confirmation the installer will install Oracle VM VirtualBox and
|
|---|
| 35 | execute the postinstall setup script.
|
|---|
| 36 | </p>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | Once the postinstall script has been executed your installation
|
|---|
| 39 | is now complete. You may now safely delete the uncompressed
|
|---|
| 40 | package and <filepath>autoresponse</filepath> files from your
|
|---|
| 41 | system. Oracle VM VirtualBox is installed in
|
|---|
| 42 | <filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath>.
