10.After installing the Solaris operating environment, install the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet software on the client system.

The software installed in Step 4 was required to boot the client system over the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. You now need to install the software in order for the operating system to use the client’s GigaSwift Ethernet interfaces in normal operation.

Before installing the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet software, make sure that the client system does not already have the software installed. Use the pkginfo command to see if the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet software packages are installed on the client system.

# pkginfo grep SUNWce

■If the software is installed (as shown in the example above), skip to Step 11.

■If the software is not installed, install the software from Solaris Supplement CD.

Refer to “Installing the Driver Software” on page 5 for instructions on installing the required software packages.

11.Confirm that the network host files have been configured correctly during the Solaris installation.

Although the Solaris software installation creates the client’s network configuration files, you may need to edit these files to match your specific networking environment. See “Configuring the Network Host Files” on page 17 for more information about editing these files.
