Installing Unsupported Devices

Oracle Solaris provides device drivers that support a wide range of standard devices in the /kernel/drv and /platform/`uname -m`/kernel/drv directories.

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

  • 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.
