Verify the i40e Driver (Oracle Solaris)
Verify the i40e Driver (Oracle Solaris)
The i40e and i40evf software package comes bundled in the Oracle Solaris software. Two
device drivers are available for this adapter:
■
i40e - Physical function (PF) driver
■
i40evf - Virtual function (VF) driver
Note - Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU22 OS is the first release to support this adapter. You can
upgrade to or install this release, but the version of the driver must be the same on both the
client and the server.
1.
Check the version of the Oracle Solaris SRU.
You must have at least Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU22 OS installed. For example:
% pkg info entire
Name: entire
Summary: entire incorporation including Support Repository Update
(Oracle Solaris 11.3.22.4.0).
...
<output omitted>
...
Version: 0.5.22 (Oracle Solaris 11.3.22.4.0)
You can also check the version of the bnxt package:
% pkg info bnxt
<Add input from Mamta>
For more information, see “Hardware and Software Requirements” on page 23 for more
information.
2.
Manually load the driver.
# modload /kernel/drv/arch/i40e
where arch is amd64 for 64-bit Intel server or sparcv9 for Oracle SPARC servers.
3.
If you removed the driver and would like to reinstall the driver, install the i40e
package.
Note - Before installing the package, ensure that your publishers are pointing to the correct
repository.
