@VBOX_PRODUCT@ for Oracle Solaris 11 (TM) Operating System
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Installing:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
After extracting the contents of the tar.xz file install the VirtualBox
|
|
package with the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo pkg install -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.p5p virtualbox
|
|
|
|
Of course you can add options for performing the install in a different boot
|
|
environment or in a separate Solaris install.
|
|
|
|
Normally you need to reboot the system to load the drivers which have been
|
|
added by the VirtualBox package.
|
|
|
|
If you want to have VirtualBox immediately usable on your system you can run
|
|
the script /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh which sets up everything immediately.
|
|
|
|
At this point, all the required files should be installed on your system.
|
|
You can launch VirtualBox by running 'VirtualBox' from the terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading:
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
If you want to upgrade from an older to a newer version of the VirtualBox IPS
|
|
package you can use the following command after extracting the contents of the
|
|
tar.xz file:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo pkg update -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@VBOX_SVN_REV@.p5p virtualbox
|
|
|
|
If you want to upgrade from the SysV package of VirtualBox to the IPS one,
|
|
please uninstall the previous package before installing the IPS one. Please
|
|
refer to the "Uninstalling" and "Installing" sections of this document for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
It is your responsibility to ensure that no VirtualBox VMs or other related
|
|
activities are running. One possible way is using the command pgrep VBoxSVC. If
|
|
this shows no output then it is safe to upgrade VirtualBox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstalling:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To remove VirtualBox from your system, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo pkg uninstall virtualbox
|
|
|
|
It is your responsibility to ensure that no VirtualBox VMs or other related
