Installing the Driver
The
SUNWixgbe
software package comes bundled in the Oracle Solaris software.
These topics explain how to verify the
ixgbe
(7D) device driver on an Oracle x86 or
Oracle SPARC system that uses the Oracle Solaris OS. The topics also explain how to
download and install the
ixgbe
(7D) driver on Linux and Windows systems.
Note –
The Oracle Solaris 10 8/10 OS and the Oracle Solaris 11 OS are the first
releases to support the Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T Adapter. You can upgrade to or
install either one of these releases, but the version of the driver must be the same on
both the client system and the server system.
