▼To Install Driver Software for Solaris 2.6 Operating Environments

1.Become superuser.

2.Insert the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 CD into a CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system.

■If your system is running Sun Enterprise Volume Manager™, it should automatically mount the CD-ROM to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.

■If your system is not running Volume Manager, mount the CD-ROM as follows:

#mkdir /cdrom

#mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0

#mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0

3.Install the software packages by typing the following at the command line.

#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/GigaSwiftEthernet/Solaris_2.6

#/usr/sbin/pkgadd -d sparc_arch/Packages all

Where sparc_arch is either sparc.sun4u or sparc.sun4u1 for Sun Enterprise™ 10000 systems.

Note –The sparc.sun4u1 contains the Solaris 2.6 packages only for Enterprise 10000 systems.

Verifying Patches

Verify whether your system has the needed patches for your version of the Solaris operating environment to ensure that you do not need to add patches.

●To verify patches for Solaris 2.6 and 7 operating environments, type the following.

#showrev -p grep 112327

The patch version should be -07 or greater.
