Verify the `bnxt` Driver (Oracle Solaris x86)

The bnxt software package comes bundled in the Oracle Solaris software. The bnxt driver does not support SRIOV.

Note - The Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU23 OS is the first release to support this adapter. You can install or upgrade to this release, but the version of the driver must be the same on both the client and the server.

Check the version of the Oracle Solaris SRU.

You must have at least Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU23 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)

See Hardware and Software Requirements for more information.

Check the version of the bnxt driver.
```
# pkg info bnxt
```

Manually load the driver.
```
# modload /kernel/drv/arch/bnxt
```
Note - If the bnxt driver is not listed, the driver might not be loaded. You can use the modload command to load the driver.

If the bnxt driver is not installed, install it. Determine the device ID for the device using the scanpci command or equivalent. For more information, refer to the Oracle Solaris scanpci(1) man page.
```
# add_drv -i  '"pciex14e4,16d7" "pciex14e4,16ca"' bnxt
```
If you removed the driver and would like to reinstall the driver, install Oracle Solaris 11.3 SRU23.
