TOTD #64: OpenSolaris 2008/11 using Virtual Box
Here is a blog entry that was sitting in my Drafts folder for a long
time
(just because I didn't realize :). Anyway, it shows how to install Open Solaris 2008/11
on Virtual Box.
The original install was done using Virtual Box 2.0.6. I installed
Virtual Box 2.1 this morning and the image was easily recognized by the
updated Virtual Box.
Here are the basic steps.
Create a new VM ...
As part of the previous step, create a new Virtual Disk mapping to the
downloaded Open Solaris image ...
The generated VM settings are shown as below:
Click on "Start" and configure for the first run as:
Boot the Virtual Macine from the LiveCD shows the following GRUB:
Take the default for Language and Keyboard and then the following
screen is shown after the boot:
Click on "Install OpenSolaris" ...
Clicking on "Install" starts the installation ...
And finally the install is completed.
Click on "Reboot", select "Boot from Hard Disk" and press Enter ...
And then select if "full boot" or "text boot" is required as shown:
And the welcome screen is shown as:
Now you can develop your Rails
applications using the NetBeans
IDE and deploy them on GlassFish
and MySQL easily as
explained here.
There are multiple updates to the stack described earlier - JRuby 1.1.6,
Rails
2.2, MySQL
Alpha 6.0.x, GlassFish
v3 Prelude, and Virtual Box
2.1.
So go ahead and develop, deploy, and debug your Rails applications as
described in screencast
#26. You can even manage your Rails applications using JMX as
described in TOTD #61,
#62,
and #63.
