With school started up, I've not been posting much, and I apologize. However, I did finally replace the motherboard in my main desktop, which has pushed me to use my server more (laptops and wireless weren't working well with the server except to come in, plug into the wired network, and dump. The last dump was 150 gigs, hence it not being convenient to do over wireless). Today, I decided to update VirtualBox since it was complaining that 3.0.8 was available. Due to just having installing VirtualBox on my newly built desktop, I knew that actually 3.0.10 was out, so I went and grabbed it to install. This is probably the third time I've "upgraded" VirtualBox on my OpenSolaris box since installing 3.0.2, but this time I noticed it hung on adding the VirtualBoxKern package, stating that there were already too many. I then realized that I'd never actually upgraded. Heres how to uninstall the old one, and install the newest pacakage.
#pkgrm SUNWvboxkern
#pkgrm SUNWvbox
#pkgadd -G -d VirtualBoxKern-3.0.10-SunOS-r54097.pkg
#pkgadd -G -d VirtualBox-3.0.10-SunOS-r54097.pkg
So happy hunting. I'm still in the process of balancing my computer power again, as I wanted some fast hard drive but accidentally replaced my motherboard with one without on board raid, so I might actually switch the internals of the OpenSolaris box (Phenom II) with the Windows box (Intel Q6600) so I have raid, and can then finally use my hardware raid card (one 16x PCI Express slot means I can't use an 8x slot because of the video card already taking it up). More on that as we go. I'm still also tempted to check out ZFS on FreeBSD...
