Solaris 10 on HP ProLiant 365 - Network device configuration

Hi there

I want to run Solaris 10 Update 6 on an HP Proliant 365 machine. I have checked the hw comp matrix and found its certified at

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/systems/details/2025.html

I followed the instructions referenced there. See

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/25544.html

$ cd /var/tmp

$ gunzip BRCMbnx-2.8.5-solaris10-i386.tar.gz

$ tar xvf BRCMbnx-2.8.5-solaris10-i386.tar

$ cd /var/tmp/BRCMbnx-2.8.5-solaris10-i386/bnx

# pkgadd -d BRCMbnx.pkg

My computer told me something about successfull installation. And that was it. I also tried reboot -- -r

. But I cannot see any hme0 from ifconfig -a

. As far as I might be able to understand, the installation above has created /kernel/drv/bnx directory

and a /kernel/drv/bnx.conf

file. Do I need to build another kernel?

I'm totally lost and googling does not help either. Any hints very much appreciated. Thanx.

Philipp

To see all available interfaces you should:1. ifconfig -a plumb. 2. ifconfig -a should show which drivers have attached.Also note that since there is no auto network configuration you will have to set up, DHCP/DNS or NIS configurations.
