failed to plumb ipv4 interface(s) : bnx0
I have intalled solaris 10 v11/06 on a blade IBM LS21.
1st i'll try with DVD and have error, I searched on the net and found a document which explain what i've to do to install.
For that I had to apply 3 patch and driver package to miniroot image.
Everything work properly. After installing Solaris the blade reboot (everithing is normal)
and i've got these message :
failed to plumb ipv4 interface(s) : bnx0
svc.startd[7] : svc : network:physical:default : method "/lib/svc/method/net-physical" failed with exit status 96.
svc.startd[7] : svc : network:physical:default misconfigured : transitioned to maintenance (see 'xvcs -xv' for details)
HOSTNAME: NH-UNIX0-SRV
configuring devices.
pcplusmp : NMI received
5 second after it's reboot
What can i do ?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
i think the problem is related with ethernet driver.
maybe this explanation could be useful for you from docs.sun.com:
(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5455/6n7hnfnh7?a=view)
6495236: Broadcom bnx Driver Conflicts With Solaris bge Driver on IBM BladeCenter LS41 Server
Description: The Broadcom bnx driver, Version 3.0.0, conflicts with the Solaris bge driver. This conflict also occurs with driver versions prior to Version 3.0.0.
The bnx driver provides support for the Broadcom NetXtreme II gigabit Ethernet interface, while the bge driver provides support for the Broadcom NetXtreme I gigabit Ethernet interface. The bnx driver does not encounter any problems if only two NetXtreme II interfaces are present. However, when four, or more interfaces are present on a system, such as the BladeCenter LS41 server with a Multiprocessor Expansion Unit (MPE) attached, failures occur in the form of system panics.
Workaround: Download and install the latest version of the Broadcom bnx driver for the Solaris OS.
If the bnx driver version is more recent than Version 3.0.0, no further action is required.
If the bnx driver is Version 3.0.0, or a version prior to Version 3.0.0, you must also replace the Solaris bge driver with the latest version of the Broadcom bcme driver for the Solaris OS. The Broadcom bcme driver is available at http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php.
