Verify the i40e Driver (Oracle Solaris)

The i40e and i40evf software package comes bundled in the Oracle Solaris software. Two device drivers are available for this adapter:

• i40e - Physical function (PF) driver

• i40evf - Virtual function (VF) driver

1. Check the version of the Oracle Solaris SRU.

   You must have at least Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU22 OS installed. For example:

   % pkg info entire
   Name: entire
   Summary: entire incorporation including Support Repository Update 
            (Oracle Solaris 11.3.22.4.0).
   ...
   <output omitted>
   ...
   Version: 0.5.22 (Oracle Solaris 11.3.22.4.0)

   You can also check the version of the bnxt package:

   % pkg info bnxt
   <Add input from Mamta>

   For more information, see Hardware and Software Requirements for more information.

2. Manually load the driver.

   # modload /kernel/drv/arch/i40e

   where arch is amd64 for 64-bit Intel server or sparcv9 for Oracle SPARC servers.

3. If you removed the driver and would like to reinstall the driver, install the i40e package.

   Note - Before installing the package, ensure that your publishers are pointing to the correct repository.

   # pkg install i40e
   # ls -l /kernel/drv/$(isainfo -n)/i40e
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 350616 Apr 16 15:23 /kernel/drv/sparcv9/i40e

   or

   # ls -l /kernel/drv/$(isainfo -n)/i40e
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 384920 Apr 16 18:48 /kernel/drv/amd64/i40e
   # add_drv -i ‘"pciex8086,154b" "pciex8086,1572" "pciex8086,1573" "pciex8086,1574" "pciex8086,157f" "pciex8086,1580" "pciex8086,1581" "pciex8086,1582" "pciex8086,1589" "pciex8086,1584" “pciex8086,1585"' i40e
   

   where pciex8086,1572 pciex8086,1573 pciex8086,157f list the PCIe drivers.
