Solaris is a SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture) operating system based on UNIX and primarily developed by Sun Microsystem as a superior version to replace their earlier OS called SunOS. UNIX was developed at Bell Labs in Manhattan. Unix like OS also refer as UN*X or *nix OS are those behaved like UNIX OS following its standardization, basically, they derived from UNIX and sometimes developed as free and open source or proprietary.

There is quite a confusion between Unix and open source Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. Just like Linux Distros Unix is also available under different names such as Oracle Solaris, OpenSolaris (Discontinued), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonflyBSD. It's easy to ascribe problems to the things that are the most "mysterious".We are very well acquainted with Linux, however, when it comes to UNIX based operating system then most don’t know from where to download it. But I'm not a MacOS user and am not familiar with SIP or how to troubleshoot issues that might or might not involve it. It doesn't seem to me that SIP would first allow and then disallow access to a file. Interference by SIP? We were allowed to access the ISO earlier. He did have two running at one point, but we shut them down, opened one, and the error state persists. Two versions of VirtualBox running, with one interfering with the other. The user is clearly marked Admin and the ISO is on a file on his desktop, and shows read/write privileges. (We are downloading the ISO and will try again.) Is it possible the ISO file got corrupted or was disabled when the installation was aborted? In researching, I've seen the following possible causes mentioned:

We tried deleting the new Windows VM and starting over by creating a new Windows 10 VM, but attempts to connect to the ISO file produced the same error. Unfortunately we weren't prepared with a working "Windows Key" and had to abort.Īfter a working key was found, we tried to run the installation again, but VirtualBox, Settings -> Storage was showing a VERR_ACCESS_DENIED error on the ISO file. We were fine during the first attempt, when linking the ISO file and starting the VM. I'm helping a friend who is trying to get Windows 10 running on his Monterey MacOS within VirtualBox.
