Solaris

The following describes the Solaris driver for HP 10/100/1000 Mbps Network Server Adapters. The driver is released in two formats:

•BRCMbcme.pkg: Datastream format

•bcmedu.img: Driver Update (DU) binary image which is used to create DU diskette.

Installing the driver

1.Change directory to where BRCMbcme.pkg resides.

2.pkgadd -d BRCMbcme.pkg

3.Execute prtconf to determine instance number of the adapter.

4.ifconfig bcme [instance_number] plumb

5.ifconfig bcme [instance_number] ip_address netmask ....

To make these changes permanent:

1.Use your favorite text editor (for example, VI), and create a file named

hostname.bcme[instance_number] in /etc directory. Add the IP address of the interface to this file, save and exit.

2.Add a proper subnet mask to the file /etc/netmasks.
