Installation of Solaris 11-Step by step Guide June 11, 2013 By Lingeswaran R 3 Comments Many of the Solaris beginners will be wondering that how to install Solaris 11.Here you go with step by step guide.There is no much difference compare to Solaris 10 Using DVD/CD installation method and you need to answer very less questions. This install will be based on Solaris 11.3. The final goal will be to discuss more advanced topic like Oracle solaris cluster, network virtualization, patch management and advanced system administration tasks.
Solaris 10, 32-bit guests supports the Flexible network adapter driver. If VMware Tools is installed on the guest, the adapter driver identifies itself as Vmxnet. If VMware Tools has not been installed on the guest, the adapter driver identifies itself as pcn. After installing the Solaris 10 Operating System on a virtual machine, the pcn driver appears.
Install VMware Tools and reboot the virtual machine to ensure that the default pcn driver switches to vmxnet. Solaris 10, 64-bit guests support only the e1000 network adapter driver. Check out these links if they help.
Hi I'm trying to install Solaris 10 and 11 as VM on unRAID. I use the default Linux VM and added a solaris iso, a Nvidia GTX 570 GPU and a SUN Keyboard.
Solaris 10 - USB Mode 2.0(EHCI) It looks like its trying to boot, but nothing is happening. Solaris 11 - USB Mode 2.0(EHCI) I get the error: WARNING: /pci@0, 0/pci.something.
(uhci0): No SOF interrupts have been received, this USB UHCI host controller is unusable. Solaris 11 - USB Mode 3.0(XHCI) The boot is coming futher. But it stil crash, look at pictures. I'm going to buy an USB 2.0 PCI-E and try passthrough it to Solaris, maby it helps. Anyone having an idea to solve this? Is it possible to run Solaris as a VM in unRAID?
EDIT: I dunno how to get picture work. Hi I'm trying to install Solaris 10 and 11 as VM on unRAID. I use the default Linux VM and added a solaris iso, a Nvidia GTX 570 GPU and a SUN Keyboard.
