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.
