Introduction
This README document provides the details for the installation and configuration of the Solaris VM. This VM consists of Solaris Express Developer Edition.

Installation and Usage Instructions
Unzip/Uncompress the downloaded archive into a known directory (e.g. C:\VirtualMachines or /usr/vmware/virtualmachines/).
From the VMware menu, select to open an existing Virtual Machine. Choose File-->Open and navigate to the directory where the archive was unzipped/uncompressed (C:\VirtualMachines or /usr/vmware/virtualmachines/). Go to the appropriate virtual machine's directory and you should see a vmx file. Select this file to open the virtual machine.
Select "Create" in the dialog box that asks for creation of a new UUID.
Start the virtual machine by selecting the "Start the Virtual machine" command or by selecting the green "Power On" button.
The virtual machine should boot up in about 30 - 120 seconds. Please wait until the blue Solaris login screen appears before logging in as root. Password is "vmware".
The virtual machine uses NAT (Network Address Translation) for networking. This means it shares the network with the host OS.
Start using the virtual machine.

Solaris Express Developer Edition

The Solaris VM is configured with DHCP. To reconfigure the Solaris VM, including modifying the host name, and assigning a new domain name and IP address, you need to run the sys-unconfig command as root. After you run the sys-unconfig command, answer the prompts to assign a new host name, new IP address, set new date and time, and other configuration parameters specific to your proper environment. The system will reboot once you input all the changes. For more information, see the sys-unconfig(1M) man page.
