I haven't tried to use a USB drive inside VMWare so I don't know about this.<BR/><BR/>I suggest posting your question on the opensolaris-discuss forum, there are a lot of people out there using Solaris under VMWare Fusion.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898259486137280102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15929719.post-61805797039939334682007-12-08T05:09:00.000-08:002007-12-08T05:09:00.000-08:00Hi David,I am able to install the ready made SXDE9...Hi David,<BR/>I am able to install the ready made SXDE907 VM from sun.com on a Fusion 1.1 VM without any real issue, and the guest OS runs find. When I tried to see the USB drive on the iMac, it was not mounted. I was looking for /hgfs and /mnt/hgfs.<BR/><BR/>I then tried to make a brand new VM for SXDE907 myself and it was successful. However, I am still not able to see the USB drive in the guest OS.<BR/><BR/>In both cases, I configured Shard Folder in Fusion under Virtual Machine and restarted the VM.<BR/><BR/>Did you have any issue like this? Any suggestions?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>LinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15929719.post-52679447508985775092007-11-30T10:52:00.000-08:002007-11-30T10:52:00.000-08:00Hi David,I bought VMWare from Amazon lastweek and ...Hi David,<BR/><BR/>I bought VMWare from Amazon last<BR/>week and it was 1.0. I saw from VMWare site that I can get 1.1 for free if you have 1.0. So I will install 1.1 instead.<BR/><BR/>I will try install Solaris and then<BR/>Oracle on the VM. <BR/><BR/>Thanks a lot for the feedback!<BR/>Linwvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02156711717042660842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15929719.post-56978956521052132272007-11-29T11:53:00.000-08:002007-11-29T11:53:00.000-08:00Hi, Lin.

My understanding is 1.1 has a lot of important improvements and bug fixes.<BR/><BR/>In terms of installing Oracle, sure, it should work. It really is like you're running the operating system native, so everything should work the same. <BR/><BR/>The main thing is to make sure you allocate enough disk space and memory for your virtual machine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898259486137280102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15929719.post-17368328997684490462007-11-28T17:39:00.000-08:002007-11-28T17:39:00.000-08:00Hi David,I am getting my iMac in the next fewdays ...Hi David,<BR/><BR/>I am getting my iMac in the next few<BR/>days and I got VW Fusion 1.0.

My networking worked right out of the box.<BR/><BR/>Take a look at <A HREF="http://www.opensolaris.org/os/article/2006-02-27_getting_started_with_opensolaris_using_vmware/" REL="nofollow"><BR/>this blog</A>, maybe it will help? I would also take your question to the opensolaris and vmware communities - they're both quite active.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898259486137280102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15929719.post-75086015139673664022007-11-26T19:31:00.000-08:002007-11-26T19:31:00.000-08:00I'm trying to install on my Mac Mini.

I was hoping that you could offer some advice.<BR/><BR/>The install works perfectly, and when I reboot the boot loader comes up (GRUB I think). When I select the default entry the screen goes blank, I see a small white underscore and nothing else happens.<BR/><BR/>If I select safe mode I boot up into a shell.<BR/><BR/>Any suggestions? How did you originally set up the OS in VMWare? As Solaris 10?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
