Oracle Solaris11 Express on VMware

January 13, 2011 Leave a comment

話題としては少し遅いですが Oracle Solaris 11 Express の検証を始めたいと思います｡
まずインストールしないと何も始まらないのでインストールしてみます｡
(Solaris11 Expressではインストーラーが幾つか公開されています)

Oracle Solaris11 Downloads – http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/

text based interactive installation – sol-11-exp-201011-text-x86.iso
gui based interactive installation – sol-11-exp-201011-live-x86.iso
automated installation – sol-11-exp-201011-ai-x86.iso

LiveCD版からインストールしてみたいと思います｡

LiveCD起動後に”Install Oracle Solaris”を実行､質問に対して答えていくだけでインストール完了します｡
VMware Toolsに関してもSolaris10の物がそのまま利用できます｡

root@vmh1solaris11:/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new VMware Tools installer database using the tar4 format.

Installing VMware Tools.

In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc]

What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/init.d]

In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]

The path “/usr/lib/vmware-tools” does not exist currently. This program is
going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you want?
[yes]

In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]

The path “/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools” does not exist currently. This program
is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you
want? [yes]

The installation of VMware Tools 8.4.5 build-324285 for Solaris completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: “/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl”.

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: “/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl”. Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

Initializing…

Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped.

Stopping VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Guest operating system daemon: done

Detected Xorg X server version 1.7.7.

No drivers for Xorg X server version: 1.7.7.
Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included.

Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Switching to guest configuration: done
Guest filesystem driver: done
Mounting HGFS shares: done
Guest memory manager: done
Guest operating system daemon: done
The configuration of VMware Tools 8.4.5 build-324285 for Solaris for this
running kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking “/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd” from the
command line or by invoking “/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox” from the command line
during an X server session.

The installed vmxnet driver will be used for all vlance and vmxnet network
devices on this system. Existing vlance devices will transition from the pcn
driver to the vmxnet driver on the next reconfiguration reboot. You will need
to verify your network settings accordingly.

If you have configured a pcn interface, the corresponding files are now renamed
to use the vmxnet device name to ensure the interface will be brought up
properly upon reboot. For example, the following commands were performed:
# mv /etc/hostname.pcn0 /etc/hostname.vmxnet0
# mv /etc/hostname6.pcn0 /etc/hostname6.vmxnet0
# mv /etc/dhcp.pcn0 /etc/dhcp.vmxnet0
and will cause the Solaris Service Management Facility to bring up the first
vmxnetX interface using the configuration of your current pcnX interface.

Enjoy,
