Has anyone gotten vboxvnic_template0 to work?
Posted: 20. Jan 2012, 02:37
I just upgraded to Solaris 11 and am grinding through all of the issues. So far I have Sun Ray server working.
My next step is to start validating the VirtualBox installations. I didn't move over all of my vnic definitions because I was suffering from vnic sprawl, where vnics were getting defined all over creation for various virtual machines and I wasn't sure if they were needed anymore. Instead, I was ever-so-hopeful that the new vnic templates would save me from vnic sprawl by having VB soft-provision the vnics on demand.
The documentation is unclear on how to set the guest, so I set my first guest to "bridged" against vboxvnic_template0. When it starts, I get the error: VERR_INTNET_FLT_VNIC_CREATE_FAILED. I am going to guess that VB lacks permission to provision vnics on the fly.
How do I fix this, or am I just misunderstanding the purpose of templates?
Many thanks,
Marty
