GigaSwift Gigabit Ethernet Patch

You can now use the GigaSwift copper gigabit Ethernet interface card, Part No. X1150A, within the N1 Provisioning Server environment. You can use this network interface card (NIC) as a VLAN-capable gigabit Ethernet adapter on the control plane server and, if you have a separate image server, on the image server for farm management.

During the initial installation of the N1 Provisioning Server software, the interface card is detected and configured by the N1 Provisioning Server installer utility. However, prior to the installation, you need to download and install the patch ID 112119-04 for Solaris 8.
