Installing Unsupported Devices

Oracle Solaris includes all the device drivers necessary to support a wide range of standard devices. These drivers can be found in the /kernel/drv and /platform/`uname -m`/kernel/drv directories.

However, for an unsupported device, the manufacturer should provide the necessary software to properly install, maintain, and administer the device. At a minimum, this software consists of the following:

  • Device driver

  • Associated configuration file that will reside in the /kernel/drv directories

  • Necessary custom maintenance and administrative utilities, in case the device is incompatible with Oracle Solaris utilities

For more information about what you need for unsupported devices, contact your device manufacturer.
