Hi Stephan,

Virtualbox is well running according to svcs:

    ml@spitfire:/home/ml# svcs|grep virtual
    online         11:19:20 svc:/application/virtualbox/run-once:default
    ml@spitfire:/home/ml#
but I do not see it in the system menu. Is there another package to install for including the gui or something to configure to add it to the menu.

locate does not find virtualbox nor Virtualbox.

Marc

Hi Stephan,

Indeed, I could install virtual box,

But where could I find info on how to use it and in particular to install windows on top of openindiana ?

Thanks,

Hello,

My laptop (HP Elitebook 820 G3 with core i7 6600U @2,6HHz) is running openindiana most of the time but some programs are only available on windows and some times I have to reboot it on windows (currently windows 10). The particularity of this notebook is that it includes 2 SSD disks, a sata (openindiana, 1Tb) and a NVMe (windows 512 Gb).


However I would prefer to run windows in a virtual machine on top of opendiana. Is this possible and, if yes, how ?

Thanks

Marc

Hi!

I am using Win10 within VirtualBox. I think you can get this to work with Win11 by enabling TPM...

Bhyve is an other option, then you have to setup Windows via VNC and - after anabling net and RDP within Windows - RDP into your virtual win11 machine.

i believe, a test with VirtualBox is an easier start (?)


Regards,
Stephan

Hi!

VirtualBox has a GUI. i assumed you use OpenIndiana with the GUI, too ?

Then you'll find it in the menu, in "system tools"

The command to start the GUI is case-sensitive:

VirtualBox

(Help on how to use VirtualBox you'll find in the net..)

Regards,
Stephan
