SysKonnect Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card

Install the SysKonnect VLAN-capable gigabit Ethernet network interface card (SK98xx) on the control plane server. You must install the Solaris 64-bit driver version 6.02. The drivers for SysKonnect cards are available at http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/d0102_driver.html.

The SysKonnect Gigabit Ethernet card is designated skge0. If you select a card made by another vendor this designation might change.

Type N when prompted whether you want to configure the interfaces. After you have installed the card, reboot the server. The N1 Provisioning software installation automatically creates the interfaces.

The driver configuration file for the SysKonnect gigabit Ethernet card is configured automatically by the N1 Provisioning Server install program at the beginning of the installation process. The SysKonnect driver is enabled to support VLANS and configured for VLANs from vlan-id 0 to vlan-id 999. You do not need to configure the driver for network connectivity or add VLANS to the configuration file.

At the beginning of the N1 Provisioning Server installation, you are prompted reboot the server in order to enable the SysKonnect card configuration.

The SysKonnect configuration file has been updated to support vlans.
A reboot is required to enable the new configuration to take effect.

As root, type the following command at the command-line prompt:

shutdown -i6 -g0 -y
