[OpenIndiana-discuss] CIFS performance issues

[Open Indiana]

Please skip the whole ifconfig and plumb this or that discussion.

Virtualbox works on any interface that is "plumbed" since only then the
interface is visible in the menu. A working IP-adress is not necessary.
Please put your interfaces on manual IP-assignment and disable nwam.
Give an IP-address to 1 interface so you can manage your host-server.

A bridged interface in VirtualBox just means that VB allows all traffic to
go directly to your VM client.

So:
1. disconnect all ethernetcables from the hostserver
2. put one back in an interface
3. login to the server
4. disable nwam
5. give the online interface a working IP-configuration via ifconfig /
nsconfig / nslookup config files
6. make sure no configuration for the other interfaces is to be found inside
/etc
7. plumb up a free interface by ifconfig and put a cable in this interface
8. start VirtualBox Gui
9. configure client to use the interface of point 7
10. start the client
11. grab some coffee
12. enjoy
