I'm having CORE i3 processor laptop, I installed 32 bit windows 7 and 32 bit VirtualBox on it, Now I would like to install 64 bit Solaris is VirtualBox because I would like to test VxVM 5.0(demo) in Solaris. IS THIS POSSIBLE, Please guide me.

Thanks in advance
Posting the same question twice is not only rude, it's against LQ rules...please read them. Your other thread has already been reported.
And if your system is 32 bit, why would you expect 64 bit software to work? If your system IS 64 bit, why did you install 32 bit Windows/VM? Install a 64 bit VM first, then you can install 64 bit Solaris.
Distribution: Solaris 11.4, Oracle Linux, Mint, Debian/WSL

Although it adds some overhead, VirtualBox supports installing a 64 bit guest OS even while the host OS is 32 bit, provided the CPU is 64 bit and the VT-X/AMD-V extensions are enabled. http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch0...ro-64bitguests

Wow, really?? Good catch, I wasn't aware that it was an option to do that, and couldn't even imagine wanting to.
