Install the adapter software on the client server.
The software installed in Step 5 is required to boot the client server over the adapter interface.
You now must install the software in order for the OS to use the client's interfaces in normal
operation.
Before installing the SUNWi40e driver, ensure that the client server does not already have the
driver installed.
# pkginfo | grep SUNWi40e*

Support (https://support.oracle.com).
