| 9 | After installing <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> in the global zone
|
|---|
| 10 | (see <xref href="install-solaris-host.dita#install-solaris-host"/> for the installation instructions)
|
|---|
| 11 | the first step required to run <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> in a
|
|---|
| 12 | non-global zone is to modify the zone's configuration to be able to access the
|
|---|
| 13 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> device nodes located in the global zone.
|
|---|
| 14 | This is done by performing the following steps as a zone administrator in the global zone.
|
|---|
| 15 | </p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <pre xml:space="preserve">global$ zonecfg -z <varname>vboxzone</varname>
|
|---|
| 17 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | Replace <varname>vboxzone</varname> with the name of the
|
|---|
| 20 | non-gloabl zone where you plan to run <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.
|
|---|
| 21 | </p>
|
|---|
| 22 | <p>
|
|---|
| 23 | Use <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput> to add the
|
|---|
| 24 | <codeph>device</codeph> resource
|
|---|
| 25 | and the <codeph>match</codeph> property for each
|
|---|
| 26 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> device node in the global
|
|---|
| 27 | zone to the non-global zone as follows:
|
|---|
| 28 | </p>
|
|---|
| 29 | <pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone> add device
|
|---|
| 30 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device> set match=/dev/vboxdrv
|
|---|
| 31 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device> end
|
|---|
| 32 | zonecfg:vboxzone> add device
|
|---|
| 33 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device> set match=/dev/vboxdrvu
|
|---|
| 34 | zonecfg:vboxzone:device> end
|
|---|
| 35 | zonecfg:vboxzone> exit</pre>
|
|---|
| 36 | <p>
|
|---|
| 37 | On Oracle Solaris 11 if you plan to use VMs configured to use a USB device, e.g. a USB
|
|---|
| 38 | pointing device or a USB pass-through device, you should also pass through the
|
|---|
| 39 | <filepath>/dev/vboxusbmon</filepath> device using the steps above.
|
|---|
| 40 | </p>
|
|---|
| 41 | <p> Oracle Solaris 11 does not support sparse root zones so you will need to
|
|---|
| 42 | loopback mount <filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath> from the global zone into the non-global
|
|---|
| 43 | zone at the same path. This is done using <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput> to set the
|
|---|
| 44 | <codeph>dir</codeph> attribute and the <codeph>special</codeph> attribute for this
|
|---|
| 45 | directory. For example: </p>
|
|---|
| 46 | <pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone> add fs
|
|---|
| 47 | zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set dir=/opt/VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 48 | zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set special=/opt/VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 49 | zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set type=lofs
|
|---|
| 50 | zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> add options [readonly]
|
|---|
| 51 | zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> end
|
|---|
| 52 | zonecfg:vboxzone> exit</pre>
|
|---|
| 53 | <p>
|
|---|
| 54 | After making the above changes using <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput>, reboot the zone
|
|---|
| 55 | using <userinput>zoneadm(8)</userinput> as follows:
|
|---|
| 56 | </p>
|
|---|
| 57 | <pre xml:space="preserve">global$ zoneadm -z <varname>vboxzone</varname> reboot
|
|---|
| 58 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 59 | <p>
|
|---|
| 60 | for the changes to take effect. You will then be able to run
|
|---|
| 61 | <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> from /opt/VirtualBox within the
|
|---|
| 62 | configured non-global zone.
