Install Host Drivers for Oracle Solaris 11.1 or Oracle Solaris 11.2

Language:

You must first download the host driver package to a server. If you are using a web repository, you need to download to the web repository instead of a local drive on each individual server.

For SPARC-based servers, ORCLovn-5.0.0-SL-sparcv9.tgz is the IPS package.
For x86-based servers, ORCLovn-5.0.0-SL.i386.tgz is the IPS package.

Locate the host software, which is typically on Oracle's eDelivery web site.
Log in to the Oracle Solaris 11.1 server or the Oracle Solaris 11.2 server as a root user.
Copy the drivers into the server.
If you are using a web repository, then download to a directory on that server.

Note - Driver packages can be placed anywhere in the file system so that the package server user has read access to packages (for example /usr or /oracle). You must not put the file into /opt.
Untar the TAR ball by using the tar xvzf command in the directory where you downloaded the host drivers.
This procedure assumes the file was downloaded to the /usr directory.
```
tar xvzf ORCLovn-5.0-SL-sparcv.tgz
```
When the package is untarred, the host drivers are contained in the ORCLovn directory. The actual file name of the host driver package is system/io/ORCLovn-drv. Use system/io/ORCLovn-drv when specifying the driver package to upgrade.
Set up the publisher by using the pkg set-publisher command and specifying the path to the directory in which the host driver file resides.
For example:
```
pkg set-publisher -p /usr/ORCLovn
```

Install the host drivers by using the pkg install command and specifying the host driver file name.

For example:

pkg install ORCLovn-drv

Note - In the example, it is assumed that you are installing the host drivers from a local repository. If you are installing the host drivers from a web repository, you can specify the URL for the location of the file. For example, for a server named drivers you could use https://drivers/system/io/ORCLovn-drv as the URL.

(Optional) Unset the publisher by using the pkg unset-publisher command and specifying the directory location where the host driver file is located.
For example:
```
pkg unset-publisher /usr/ORCLovn
```
Verify that the host drivers are installed by using the pkg list command while grepping for ORCLovn which is a part of the driver file name.
For example:
```
pkg list|grep -i ORCLovn
         system/io/ORCLovn-drv (Oracle)
0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.2.726    i--
```
Verify that all cabling is complete and correct.
If the physical layer connectivity is not functional, the nodes might not come online correctly.
Reboot the server by using any of the following commands:
- ```
reboot --rv
```
- ```
shutdown -y -g0 -i6
```
Allow the server to completely reboot, log in again as a root user, and confirm that the service is running.
```

```

Display all the installed software and dependencies by issuing the modinfo command and grepping for xs to find the installed software components.

For example:

modinfo | grep xs
170 7b246000  66f0 285 1 xstn (Xsigo Transport nexus driver v1)
171 7b24e000 1e060   -  1 xstl (Xsigo Transport services v0.2)
174 7b2a0000  f510 286  1 xsvnic (Xsvnic GLDv3 Driver)
181 7b2b0000 309b0 287  1 xsvhba (Xsigo Virtual HBA)

Verify that the attachment points and XSTN nodes are up and running on the Oracle Solaris host.

The host's HCA is up and connected.
The host's IB fabric is running.
The InfiniBand port link is connected to the Oracle Fabric Interconnect. Oracle Virtual Networking uses the InfiniBand port as a transport medium to the server.
Related IB services are connected.

The bold text in the following example highlights the HCA and IB functionality that should be verified.
