Today is really idle, so I decided to install Solaris9 for x86 playing on VMware. First, you must use the VMware Workstation 4.5 or more to support the Solaris virtual machine. VMware download, just find it on Google, a big hand. As for the download of Solaris9 for x86 U6 (latest version), you can find it on the FTP of the FEI, and the FTP address of the FEI has a top in the Linux sector of ITPub. Solaris9 for x86 U6, FTP for FEI provides three discs, there is no Language, but it doesn't matter. Download, it is more convenient to install it into a disc. VMware's installation and settings will no longer come. This time I mainly say that the place you need to pay attention to in the Solaris installation. Note: 1. During the installation process, the front two Kdmconfig's configuration prompt must not be confirmed by F2, press F4 to jump directly, otherwise, even the second disk is not installed. Wait until all three discs are all installed, when starting again, there will be another prompt to configure Kdmconfig, here you can temporarily choose VGA, this step can be found in the installation document of the VMware official site. said. 2. According to the XWindow set out in the official document, it can only go to 640 × 480 resolution, only to 256 colors, simply unbearable, so we need to download the Sunwxf86-VMware package to configure the VMware graphics card. After the download is complete, the driver package is installed, the steps are as follows: $ gunzip sunwxf86-vmware.tar.gz $ tar xvf sunwxf86-vmware.tar $ su - root # pkgaddd -d`pwd` sunwxf86u # pkgaddd -d`pwd` sunwxf86r installation Later, use Kdmconfig to configure the graphics card, the graphics card selection XF86-VMware VMware Virtual Video Adapter, the display is still that 1600 * 1200, the resolution is selected 1024 * 768, then the F4 is skipped, and the machine is directly restarted. If it is started, it is not right. Don't worry about him, you don't have to jump directly. If you start it, we will see a beautiful Solaris Xwindow. 3. Because it is VMware, it will add a disk after the installation is completed, and the steps of the new disk will be simply described below. 1) Turn off the VMware, edit the properties, add a disk, in order to improve performance, I chose Plain Disk, giving 4G space 2) Start VMware, at this time, I use the format command to discover the new hard drive is not displayed, we need to build A file su - roottouch / reconfigureness; sync; reboot3) The machine is restarted, run the format command again, you can already see the new hard drive, the format command is not detailed, but it is indeed very different in Solaris. One empty disk is partition-> Print also display a bunch of partitions, in fact, these are not partitions, but there are several partition types defined in Solaris. For example, we want to make this disk into a nature, then we only Need to edit 0 Partition, then give it all disk size, other prompts to give Size's partition directly to the carriage return.
