| 19 | VirtualBox 2.2 includes experimental USB support and requires OpenSolaris build 109 or
|
|---|
| 20 | higher. VirtualBox USB support on Solaris 10 is not supported due to limitations in the kernel.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | "USB Filters" is not currently supported on any Solaris host due to restrictions in the
|
|---|
| 23 | kernel/USB sub-system. USB devices are granted to the guest using "Devices->USB Devices" menu.

| 29 | After extracting the contents of the tar.gz file perform the following steps:
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | 1. Login as root using the "su" command.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | 2. Install the packages (in this order):
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | (*) First, the VirtualBox kernel interface package:
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
|
|---|
| 40 | "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvboxkern" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | (*) Next, the main VirtualBox package:
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | pkgadd -d VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.pkg
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | To perform an unattended (non-interactive) installation of this package add
|
|---|
| 47 | "-n -a autoresponse SUNWvbox" (without quotes) to the end of the above pkgadd command.
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | 3. For each package the installer would ask you to "Select package(s) you wish to process"
|
|---|
| 50 | For this type "1" or "all".
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | 4. Then type "y" when asked about continuing with the installation.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Now all the necessary files would be installed on your system. Start VirtualBox by typing
|
|---|
| 55 | VirtualBox from the terminal.
