I think the OP also wants to run the X server in a container with
the IO devices passed to it from the global zone.
I vaguely recall this wish list in an OI or Omnios forum.

Another similar use-case is passing the framebuffer from host
to VBox or KVM guest to run games and other graphics intensive
applications.

zpool(1M)
zpool replace [-f] pool device [new_device]
 Replaces old_device with new_device.  This is equivalent to
 attaching new_device, waiting for it to resilver, and then
 detaching old_device.

 The size of new_device must be greater than or equal to the
 minimum size of all the devices in a mirror or raidz
 configuration.

 new_device is required if the pool is not redundant.  If
 new_device is not specified, it defaults to old_device.  This
 form of replacement is useful after an existing disk has failed
 and has been physically replaced.  In this case, the new disk may
 have the same /dev/dsk path as the old device, even though it is
 actually a different disk.  ZFS recognizes this.

 -f  Forces use of new_device, even if its appears to be in
 use.  Not all devices can be overridden in this manner.

Neither KVM nor bhyve support USB passthru.
bhyve supports PCI passthru, but you would have to pass an entire
USB add-on card to your guest.

Shared folders can be solved with NFS and CIFS.

I manage a Samba-based Active Directory with a Windows 7 guest on top

Switching to a ZFS volume for guest storage seemed to help performance.
I'll likely migrate the VM to bhyve when Omnios bumps to r151028 RSN.

I've reproduced the missing CUPS printers in firefox in a Hipster VM.

Alternatively you can create a pool containing multiple mirrors:
https://illumos.org/man/1m/zpool>
 Virtual devices are specified one at a time on the command line, separated
 by whitespace.  The keywords mirror and raidz are used to distinguish where
 a group ends and another begins.  For example, the following creates two
 root vdevs, each a mirror of two disks:

 # zpool create mypool mirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0 mirror c1t0d0 c1t1d0

For experimenting, using files as backend storage is flexible and fun:
$ wget

You'll need to turn off the zoned property for ROOT dataset and
also change the mountpoints.
Then turn back on the zoned property and attach the new zone.

I believe you can configure the nVidia graphics card as a passthru device
and then pass it to your Windows VM running on bhyve.

Not to my ears.

I have no problems moving a zpool between OI, Void Linux running
OpenZFS 2.0, and Oracle Solaris.

When you create the pool under OpenZFS, you must set pool version
to 28 and disable features.

Per zpool(1M),

Yes and yes.
Solaris is able to import pools created using OI, Omnios, FreeBSD,

UNAVAIL status suggests to me that you failed to export the pool
when you created it under Solaris.

Conduct your test again and make note of each command you entered
from zpool creation and export unders Solaris, to import and export
under OpenZFS, to import on Solaris.

I believe I have reproduced your results under unsupported VBox 5.2.44.

lightdm displays the username/password prompt but upon loggin in, the
screen goes black within VM window but is normal in VirtualBox Manager's

Also the display is fine when the guest is paused.

Try upgrading your VirtualBox to 6.1.18.

Possibly it was a mistake to install the Solaris additions

Auto resize works fine with OI's virtualbox-additions package
and the VM configured with vboxvga.

 From lightdm, you can choose xterm insteat of mate in the top right

As Josh Clulow noted, the OI text installer keeps a logfile in /tmp

With the text installer from the text ISO, you can choose option 3
to escape to a shell, format and create and export your rpool,
then exit back to the installation menu and select option 1 to
install OI.
Then choose F5 to install to your existing rpool.

They are GPT partitions, not Solaris slices within a legacy MBR fdisk
partition.
There may be nomenclature byg here:
# zpool create -f -B -d weetest c4t0d0
# fdisk /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0
If you run fdisk /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0, you will see a single EFI partition,
but fdisk is just reporting that its a GPT labeled disk.
format -e /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0 -> partition will allow to create GPT
partitions, including the EFI GPT partition type only required if
booting UEFI, though I find FreeBSD's gpart(8) easier for the OP's use
case of multiple pools and filesystems on a single disk.

I would try chroot(1M) here.

I submitted a PR to the OI installation guide to install and then
uninstall mate_install when adding GUI to a text-only installation.

I also submitted a PR for updating nVidia versions using the new
IPS packages.

Gary Mills helped shepherd the addition of the HP controller's PCI ID
into illumos so as to allow ahci(7D) to attach.

Hopefully it will just work in the next release of OI installation media.

How do the logs differ between your corrupted environment and
your working test user?

At that point a Mate expect can chime-in on whether its feasible
to repair your environment.

Lots of options for running legacy software on top of illumos and

Omnios' docs for bhyve say the zonecfg vnc attr can be value
off, on, or options.
https://omnios.org/info/bhyve_kvm_brand>

 From the global zone you can see how the zonecfg options
were parsed:
# pargs `pgrep bhyve`

Also you can inspect $ZONEPATH/root/tmp/init.log
