| 5 | <title>Configuring a Zone for Running Oracle VM VirtualBox</title>

| 8 | <p>
|

| 9 | Assuming that Oracle VM VirtualBox has already been installed into
|
|---|
| 10 | your zone, you need to give the zone access to Oracle VM VirtualBox's
|
|---|
| 11 | device node. This is done by performing the following steps.
|
|---|
| 12 | Start a root terminal and run the following command:
|
|---|
| 13 | </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg -z <varname>vboxzone</varname>
|
|---|
| 15 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>
|
|---|
| 17 | Replace <varname>vboxzone</varname> with the name of the
|
|---|
| 18 | zone where you intend to run Oracle VM VirtualBox.
|
|---|
| 19 | </p>
|
|---|
| 20 | <p>
|
|---|
| 21 | Use <userinput>zonecfg</userinput> to add the
|
|---|
| 22 | <codeph>device</codeph> resource and <codeph>match</codeph>
|
|---|
| 23 | properties to the zone, as follows:
|
|---|
| 24 | </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone>add device
|
|---|
| 26 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>set match=/dev/vboxdrv
|
|---|
| 27 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>end
|
|---|
| 28 | zonecfg:vboxzone>add device
|
|---|
| 29 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>set match=/dev/vboxdrvu
|
|---|
| 30 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>end
|
|---|
| 31 | zonecfg:vboxzone>exit</pre>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | On Oracle Solaris 11 or later, you may also add a device for
|
|---|
| 34 | <filepath>/dev/vboxusbmon</filepath>, similar to that shown
|
|---|
| 35 | above.
|
|---|
| 36 | </p>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | If you are not using sparse root zones, you will need to
|
|---|
| 39 | loopback mount <filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath> from the
|
|---|
| 40 | global zone into the non-global zone at the same path. This is
|
|---|
| 41 | specified below using the <codeph>dir</codeph> attribute and
|
|---|
| 42 | the <codeph>special</codeph> attribute. For example:
|
|---|
| 43 | </p>
|
|---|
| 44 | <pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone>add fs
|
|---|
| 45 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>set dir=/opt/VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 46 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>set special=/opt/VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 47 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>set type=lofs
|
|---|
| 48 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device>end
|
|---|
| 49 | zonecfg:vboxzone>exit</pre>
|
|---|
| 50 | <p>
|
|---|
| 51 | Reboot the zone using <userinput>zoneadm</userinput> and you should
|
|---|
| 52 | be able to run Oracle VM VirtualBox from within the configured zone.
|
|---|
