S11 zone SCItool terminal issue

Post by dank »

When configuring any zone for the first time the terminal for SCItool gets all funky and the F2 / Esc-2 keys only move downward in the terminal selections and won't allow going backwards if you miss the selection or hit the keys too many times.

I'm running VirtualBox 4.2 with Guest Extensions and Solaris 11.1. The same behavior occurred in VB 4.1 and Solaris 11 as well. I've been running labs around the world and the same behavior occurs with all my students laptops. Mostly windows.

This doesn't happen on first level SCI tool configurations for initial Solaris installs, it only happens with zone configurations within an already installed Solaris instance. I've been running labs on VB since the first version of S11 and VB 4.1 and the behavior occurs in the latest version as well.

I mentioned this to Solaris install engineering and they said it was a VirtualBox problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting around this?

Thanks!
