How does VMware install solaris10?

Preparations before installation
Get Solaris 10
You can go to Sun's website to download Solaris 10 for free, with a size of 2.5 GB, and burn it into a bootable DVD. If you are in trouble, we recommend that you purchase 《 Program Member magazine, which provides a Solaris 10 DVD (I installed it with a CD );
Install Vmware
1. You can download it from China's VMware Network (registration required, free of charge). I downloaded vmware workstation 5 (which contains the registration code)
2. VMware is easy to install. you can install it by default;
Configure Vmware
1. Select "new Virtual Machine" to create a new virtual machine;
2. Select the "Custom" mode, because the default disk space of VMware in the "typical" mode is 4 GB, and the space required for Solaris 10 is relatively large. If required, select the custom option;
3. Select "Sun Solaris"-> "Solaris 10" in "guest operation system ";
4. Other settings Parameters
1) We recommend that you do not install Solaris 10 on the system disk (drive c). In addition, if you want to fully install Solaris 10, you need about 12 GB of disk space;
2) memory adjusted to 512 MB
3) the recommended disk capacity is 12 GB (if the disk space is sufficient)
5. Start the Virtual Machine "start this virtual machine" to start the installation;
In the process of using VMWare, the "CTRL + ALT" combination key is very useful and supports:
1) Remove the mouse and keyboard from VMware and return them to Windows
2) restore the window under full screen;
Precautions for installation and configuration of Solaris
1. During the installation process, the F2 key indicates that the configuration will continue, and most of the configuration information can be set by default;
2. Some system configurations are required after the first restart after the installation is completed. Follow the default values step by step;
3. After restart, it will allow you to enter the root password and enter the command line interface for some maintenance. Wait until you enter the logon interface;
4. Configure the video card: open a terminal and run it with the root permission # kdmconfig
1) choose change video device/monitor-> XF86-VMWARE VMWare virtual video adapter
2) Set "monitor types", "screen sizes", "Resolution/colors/refresh rate", and "virtual screen resolutions" in sequence"
3) restart the instance.
Note: (in fact, after installing the system, you can run the command sys-uncofnig to reset most settings)
A) for the terminal type, we recommend that you select "Dec VT100 ";
B) we recommend that you select "specify Router" and manually set the IP address of the gateway;
(The route in the network cannot be identified when Solaris is started. the IP address of the route entry will be saved in the/etc/defaultrouter file)
C) we recommend that you select "full distribution" for the installation package, which is about 10 Gb;
D) we recommend that you select all automatically set file system options;
For those who often interact with Solaris but cannot do without windows, using VMware is a good method.
When installing VMWare on Windows to run Solaris, the first problem is the memory problem. At least 256 MB of memory is required for Windows, and 256 for Solaris. Even so, it is a great success. If you want to run a bunch of words while running Solaris, you have to have 1 GB of memory.
1) bridge or NAT
To install VMWare, you must first set up a network. Bridge is the simplest. Selecting this setting means that the virtual machine is also an independent machine and you have to assign an independent IP address to it.
It is complicated to select Nat. Now I have not figured out the essential principle, but only know a feasible configuration path:
To enable HDCP for Solaris installation, what does the gateway fill in? You can check what the gateway is from VMware's "edit-> Virtual Network Setting-> Nat. Once you start the virtual system, you can connect to Windows and access the internet.
2) graphics card and graphics card
It is relatively simple to install solaris10. Just put it on the CD and follow the prompts. After installation, the default resolution is only 640*480. Speaking of this, it seems a bit hateful, because VMware will prompt you to install vmtools to solve this problem. I will search online and find many Article It is misleading to teach you how to install vmtools. On the official website of VMware, we can find that the Solaris system does not need to install vmtools, and there is no vmtools to install. All the tools available on the Internet are not officially provided.
The method is simple. Run/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig and configure it step by step as prompted to change the resolution.
3) What is the best chat on Solaris?
I believe that most people do not need to use the usual desktop environment when installing Solaris. because there are only a few Solaris software, there will be fewer solaris10, and the software is harder to find than Linux. But after I installed Solaris on my PC, I always felt itchy. I wanted to install a chat software. Baidu once found that lumaqq was available, download, and run an error. Why? Where should I go! When solaris10 came out, there were reports that it was hard to compete with Windows XP for desktop.
