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.
