Verify the Driver Version (Oracle Solaris 10)

Oracle Solaris 10 10/11 is the first release of the Oracle Solaris 10 OS to support the Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter. Depending on your version of the Oracle Solaris 10 OS, you might or might not need to download the updated driver.

1. Check the version of the installed driver.

   # modinfo | grep ixgbe 
   173 7b762000  17998 100   1  ixgbe (Intel 10Gb Ethernet 1.0.1)

   If the version number is not at least 1.0.1, you must install the latest driver, or you can reinstall the OS. See OS Patches and Updates.

   ---

   Note - If the ixgbe(7D) driver is not listed, the driver might not be loaded. You can use the modload(1M) command to load the driver if needed.

   ---

2. Manually load the module.

   # modload /kernel/drv/arch/ixgbe

   where arch is amd64 for 64-bit Intel systems or sparcv9 for Oracle SPARC systems.
