Solaris

a good start for solaris is the system documentation:
Oracle Solaris 10 9/10 Release

I do see a card configured when I hit dladm show-dev:

Code:

I'm still stuck with my connectivity issues:

1. Connection from putty to sun VMbox?
2. Internet connectivity within the sun VM box..

I've tried editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to permit remote root login.. But no luck

Ok shefali.sun,
I use virtual box a lot and one thing you need to make sure of is that the VM program put your server on the same network as your other computer. Even if you running the VM on the same computer your trying to connect from. So check the network setting on VM program your using.

As for the internet conectivity make sure the /etc/resolv.conf (used for DNS)has the right info in it.

I use VirualBox on my Mac at to host VM's of Solaris servers, so I will try to help as much as I can.

so you have to configure this interface... start with:

Code:

# ifconfig e1000g0 plumb

As a beginning grab a copy of UNIX and LINUX System Administration Handbook 4th Edition a must to have. It will be an invaluable reference for you specially if you have a previous experience in LINUX or other UNICES.
This book will aid you in many Solaris administration aspects ranging from basic to advanced topics that if you are going to practice and test by your hands I tell you that if you can digest that book you will be able to handle many tasks that cover over than 90% of Solaris Administration.
