| 8 | On Oracle Solaris hosts, the Oracle VM VirtualBox watchdog service
|
|---|
| 9 | daemon is integrated into the SMF framework. You can change the
|
|---|
| 10 | parameters, but do not have to if the defaults already match
|
|---|
| 11 | your needs:
|
|---|
| 12 | </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svccfg -s svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default setprop \
|
|---|
| 14 | config/balloon_interval=10000
|
|---|
| 15 | svccfg -s svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default setprop \
|
|---|
| 16 | config/balloon_safetymargin=134217728</pre>
|
|---|
| 17 | <p><xref href="vboxwatchdog-linux.dita#vboxwatchdog-linux/table-vboxwatchdog-config-params"/> also applies
|
|---|
| 18 | for Oracle Solaris. The parameter names must be changed to
|
|---|
| 19 | lowercase and a prefix of <codeph>config/</codeph> has to be
|
|---|
| 20 | added. For example: <codeph>config/user</codeph> or
|
|---|
| 21 | <codeph>config/balloon_safetymargin</codeph>. If you made any
|
|---|
| 22 | change, do not forget to run the following command to put the
|
|---|
| 23 | changes into effect immediately:
|
|---|
| 24 | </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcadm refresh svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>
|
|---|
| 27 | If you forget the above command then the previous settings will
|
|---|
| 28 | be used when enabling the service. Check the current property
|
|---|
| 29 | settings with the following command:
|
|---|
| 30 | </p>
|
|---|
| 31 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcprop -p config svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | When everything is configured correctly you can start the
|
|---|
| 34 | Oracle VM VirtualBox watchdog service with the following command:
|
|---|
| 35 | </p>
|
|---|
| 36 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcadm enable svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
| 37 | <p>
|
|---|
| 38 | For more information about SMF, please refer to the Oracle
|
|---|
| 39 | Solaris documentation.
