## Insert the VirtualBox Guest Additions CD Image



## Check if cdrom is mounted


Note: The "Connected Device" shows what CD was inserted into the drive



## If the CDROM was not shown as mounted i.e. no mountpoint was listed like above, mount manually

mount -r -t hsfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 /cdrom


## Once CDROM is mounted




once cdrom is mounted, go to

/cdrom/vboxadditions_version

either

(1)

./VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg

or

(2)

 ./autorun.sh

For Solaris 11 if the above does not work, perform manual install using the legacy pkgadd (not pkg)

e.g. Guest Additions cd mounted in /media/VBOXADDITIONS_6.1.10_138449

cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_6.1.10_138449

pkgadd -d /media/VBOXADDITIONS_6.1.10_138449/VBoxSolarisAdditions.pkg SUNWvboxguest



## To uninstall (e.g. for reinstallation

pkgrm SUNWvboxguest
