| 4 | <title>Oracle Solaris: Starting the Watchdog Service With SMF</title>

|

| 7 | <p>On Oracle Solaris hosts, the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> watchdog service daemon is
|
|---|
| 8 | integrated into the SMF framework. You can change the parameters, but do not have to if the defaults already match
|
|---|
| 9 | your needs: </p>
|
|---|
| 10 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svccfg -s svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default setprop \
|
|---|
| 11 | config/balloon_interval=10000
|
|---|
| 12 | svccfg -s svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default setprop \
|
|---|
| 13 | config/balloon_safetymargin=134217728</pre>
|
|---|
| 14 | <p><xref href="vboxwatchdog-linux.dita#vboxwatchdog-linux/table-vboxwatchdog-config-params"/> also applies
|
|---|
| 15 | for Oracle Solaris. The parameter names must be changed to
|
|---|
| 16 | lowercase and a prefix of <codeph>config/</codeph> has to be
|
|---|
| 17 | added. For example: <codeph>config/user</codeph> or
|
|---|
| 18 | <codeph>config/balloon_safetymargin</codeph>. If you made any
|
|---|
| 19 | change, do not forget to run the following command to put the
|
|---|
| 20 | changes into effect immediately:
|
|---|
| 21 | </p>
|
|---|
| 22 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcadm refresh svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
| 23 | <p>If you forget the above command then the previous settings will be used when enabling the service. Check the
|
|---|
| 24 | current property settings with the following command: </p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcprop -p config svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
| 26 | <p>When everything is configured correctly you can start the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
|
|---|
| 27 | watchdog service with the following command: </p>
|
|---|
| 28 | <pre xml:space="preserve">svcadm enable svc:/application/virtualbox/balloonctrl:default</pre>
|
|---|
