<title>Configuring a Non-Global Zone for Running <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/></title>
<body>
<p>After installing <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> in the global zone (see
<xref href="install-solaris-host.dita#install-solaris-host"/> for the installation instructions) the first step
required to run <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> in a non-global zone is to modify the zone's
configuration to be able to access the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> device nodes located
in the global zone. This is done by performing the following steps as a zone administrator in the global zone. </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">global$ zonecfg -z <varname>vboxzone</varname>
</pre>
<p>Replace <varname>vboxzone</varname> with the name of the non-gloabl zone where you plan to run <ph
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. </p>
<p>Use <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput> to add the <codeph>device</codeph> resource and the
<codeph>match</codeph> property for each <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> device node in
the global zone to the non-global zone as follows: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone> add device
zonecfg:vboxzone:device> set match=/dev/vboxdrv
zonecfg:vboxzone:device> end
zonecfg:vboxzone> add device
zonecfg:vboxzone:device> set match=/dev/vboxdrvu
zonecfg:vboxzone:device> end
zonecfg:vboxzone> exit</pre>
<p>On Oracle Solaris 11 if you plan to use VMs configured to use a USB device, e.g. a USB pointing
device or a USB pass-through device, you should also pass through the <filepath>/dev/vboxusbmon</filepath> device
using the steps above. </p>
<p>Oracle Solaris 11 does not support sparse root zones so you will need to loopback mount
<filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath> from the global zone into the non-global zone at the same path. This is
done using <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput> to set the <codeph>dir</codeph> attribute and the
<codeph>special</codeph> attribute for this directory. For example: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">zonecfg:vboxzone> add fs
zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set dir=/opt/VirtualBox
zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set special=/opt/VirtualBox
zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> add options [readonly]
zonecfg:vboxzone:fs> end
zonecfg:vboxzone> exit</pre>
<p>After making the above changes using <userinput>zonecfg(8)</userinput>, reboot the zone using
<userinput>zoneadm(8)</userinput> as follows: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">global$ zoneadm -z <varname>vboxzone</varname> reboot
</pre>
<p>for the changes to take effect. You will then be able to run <ph
conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> from /opt/VirtualBox within the configured non-global zone. </p>
