Supported Platforms

SPARC: All T4 series of systems support Oracle Solaris SR-IOV capable devices.
x86: Intel Nehalem-EX based systems such as x4470 and x4800 support Oracle Solaris SR-IOV capable devices.

The following cards support SR-IOV capable devices:

Intel based NICs such as Kawela (82576, 1G)
Niantic (82599, 10G)

Note - To be able to run SR-IOV capable devices, the system firmware should support SR-IOV capability.
