|
|---|
| 10 | completely before installing a newer one.
|
|---|

|
|---|

| 22 | VirtualBox 3.0 includes experimental USB support and requires OpenSolaris
|
|---|
| 23 | build 109 or higher. VirtualBox USB support on Solaris 10 is not supported
|
|---|
| 24 | due to limitations in the kernel.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | "USB Filters" is not currently supported on any Solaris host due to
|
|---|
| 27 | restrictions in the kernel/USB sub-system. USB devices are granted to
|
|---|
| 28 | the guest using "Devices->USB Devices" menu.

|
|---|
| 32 | -----------
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | 1. Login as root using the "su" command.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | 2. Install the packages (in this order):
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | (*) First, the VirtualBox kernel interface package:
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this
|
|---|
| 45 | package, add "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvboxkern" (without quotes)
|
|---|
| 46 | to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | (*) Next, the main VirtualBox package:
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this
|
|---|
| 53 | package, add "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvbox" (without quotes)
|
|---|
| 54 | to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | 3. For each package, the installer will ask you to "Select package(s) you
|
|---|
| 57 | wish to process". In response, type "1" or "all".
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | 4. Type "y" when asked about continuing the installation.
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | At this point, all the required files should be installed on your system.
|
|---|
| 62 | You can launch VirtualBox by running 'VirtualBox' from the terminal.
