I came across this problem myself. The GUI does not have a way to do this - you need to use the command line:
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/to/file.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/dsk/c4t0d0p1 -register Where /path/to/file.vmdk is a new VM disk image file which will be created to store the configuration for the access to the disk. Note that the VirtualBox manual says that this feature is experimental so it would be best to back up your data before using it. See the manual on the download page here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads . Cheers Andrew. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
