virtualbox.org

I have Virtualbox 4.1.18 installed and running on my Mac Mini running Solaris 10 as the guest OS.

I set MacOSX on the Mini to never sleep and it appears to stay alive all the time. At least it will answer pings any time I hit it.

However, it appears the Solaris guest OS goes to sleep after a short period of inactivity and it will not wake up unless I go to the Mini and shake the mouse or hit a key on keyboard.

Not sure if the host MacOS is going to sleep and wakes up but VBox is not able to wake Solaris up.

I created a script under MacOS that pings the VBox Solaris instance every 5 minutes, however that does not appear to do the trick.

Any idea on VBox or MacOSX settings that would help?


Thanks,

Mike

Have you adjusted the Guest's power management settings to not sleep?
Best of Luck

Disabled the power service in the Solaris 10 guest OS and that appears to have done the trick.

Thanks for the tip!
