Running VB 4.3 on Solaris 11.1

Autostart starts VMs ok, (with bug fixes for staff/vboxuser in script).

However it does not shutdown VMs

Output from CLI

The VM remains running.

It is as if it does not realise that it can autostop any VMs.

Anyone ??

Please attach as zip the related VM log as described here

Hi,

Ok, I've added al the logs from around the time of testing. Hopefully one of them will shed some light ?

I've tried to get autostart running to no avail using the old autostart documentation.

Code: Select all

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autostart

Evidently, things changed since that doc as the autostart script is looking for /$autostart_db/<username>.start and /$autostart_db/<username>.stop files. There's no doc about what's supposed to be in these files.

I've been unable to get this to work. I wrote my own script to kindly save the VMs during shutdown, but I'd like to have them start at boot too.

Well I have autostart working OK by amending the script (for Solaris) as listed elsewhere here. (group issue).

Care to share your your shutdown/save script ? I may be able to bodge it in.
