Install network card on solaris 8 x86 10/1

Hi
how can I install my netwoek card on solaris 8 x86
Thank a lot

In the same way you install any other card. Plug the card in
the slot., and install the appropriate solaris driver for that
network card. May be you want to detail the problem, if this
is not you are looking for.
Thx

Installing network card in solaris 7 intel version

hai,
i installed solaris 7 in a intel platform. but the network card is not getting recoganised. the card is Compex Readlink RL2000 pci card. how i will configure it. please help me.
shibin

If the card is not recognized, then it's probably unsupported by solaris.
Either you can get a solaris 7 driver from the card's vendor, or you
get a new nic that is support under solaris 7.

How to install lan card in solaris 11

Hi,
can some one please tell me how to install lan card in solaris nevada snv_55b X86, 5.11
When i do ifconfig -a it only displays loop back driver only
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
The other driver was missing can please some one tell me how to install that?

Well, the lan card has to be one that is supported by Solaris and you need to have the proper driver installed before you'll be able to get it running. A good starting point would be to look at the Solaris Hardware Compatability List (HCL) at:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/index.html
There is a blue box which says "Check out the X86 device list" which may be a good place to start. You won't be able to pick out Solaris version you're running for the OS type menu but if you can find the device anywhere you should at least be able to determine which driver it uses so you can check that against your system. If you don't have the driver package installed, you'll have to install it before you can see the device. If course, if the device isn't supported you're stuck. At least the HCL can help you select a new interface card which should work.

Network cards for Solaris 8 x86

Which network cards are supported by Solaris 8 x86 ?
Thank you !
dorin.

Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.

Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

Installing Network Card

thanks a lot pat, it helps the card is up running. thanks again

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 Installation Did Not Install Network Card

I just installed a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on a new Mid 2013 MBA. The install ran the support software and installed the drivers. However I don't show any network cards in my Windows 8.1 installation. I reran the support sw manually and it went through and supposedly fixed any driver errors but I still don't see a network card or have a network connection. It works just fine in my OSX partition, so it is definately a driver issue. *** do I need to do to get the network driver installed?

In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my wireless adapter device)
Thanks

What 100MB Network Cards will Solaris 2.5.1 auto-detect

I need a PCI network card that Sow-lrais 2.5.1 will recognize. It must be 100baseT. The ones it enumerates at install time are aincient -- SMC/Western Digital, etc. Any modern cards that will work?
Please help me move on -- I've wasted days digging for old cards and trying them.
Thanks
Daniel

elxl comes from the elxl driver. I am afraid that you probably can't just change this behavior. Why would your vendor do such a thing though? To me that seems incredibly stupid.

Need to install ORACLE 9i on solaris x86

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me where I can get DB Oracle 9i for Solaris x86?
If not, what can I use?
Thanks.

Unfortunately no chance. 9i was never supported on Solaris x86 and is desupported now on all other platforms. Use 10gR2 instead.

Installing Network Adapter in Solaris (SPARC)

As I understand, HCL is only for x86 Solaris.
And what about analog for SPARC?
Actually, which Models of PCI Network Adapters can I install into my SPARC, and Solaris will support it?

Hello Vassiliy,
please don't double post !
Please read my answer to your enquiry
There is no elxl driver in /dev directory...
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=21382
The supported Sun Hardware is listed in the Sun System Handbook / Full Components List of your system, for example Blade 2500

Attempting to install version 8 on solaris x86

The installation fails with:
ERROR exception while configuring command-line utilities
not enough space
The installation claims to require 236 megs. The disk has 2.3 gig free

So, how large is the swap partition? In my experience, default swap size values set by Solaris end-user configuration installation are usually good enough for end-user desktop system but not for developer's environment where you usually run some sort of server and/or IDE and it is usually good idea to increase default swap space values
Just as a reference value, I remember having similar issues installing Application Server 8 on a Solaris system with 560 MB swap space and 128 MB RAM and installation would go through only if /tmp was perfectly clean and system was running only bare bones processes. Since this is fresh Solaris installation, I would recommend reconfiguring the system with at least 1 GB of swap space - that would give you a nice margin if this system is to be used for J2EE development or production.

Installing a second Network Card

Having just installed Solaris 8 on an Intel based machine, the system is identifying two installed network cards.
Can anyone tell me how to configure the second Network Card - IP address etc as the Web Start package will only allow configuration of the first network card

You just need to create a new text file /etc/hostname.{nic-interface-name}
Lets assume the system has two intel etherexpress pro NICs installed. The intel NIC's driver
name / interface name is "iprb". So the two NICs are named "iprb0" and "iprb1".
The file /etc/hostname.iprb0 should already exist (created by the inital installation).
Just create /etc/hostname.iprb1 and put into this file the ip-address of the iprb1 interface.
You can also use a hostname in that file and add a hostname -> ip address mapping
into the /etc/hosts file.
During the next reboot the system will automatically bring up both the iprb0 and iprb1
interface.

Network Card Configuration

Hi,
Could anybody tell me the command for configuring network card in Solaris 10. I installed Solaris 10 and my network card does not work any more. Thank you
OC.

The commands (logged in as root) are:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
(Add the network card to the system if it has not been added to the system yet.)
ifconfig network_card_name ip_addr up
(Start the network card)
The configuration gets lost after re-booting the system.
To permanently add a network card to the system create the file
/etc/hostname.network_card_name
for example:
/etc/hostname.hme0
This file contains just one line. This line is a host name from /etc/hosts that corresponds to the IP address of the card.
The use of DHCP is a bit more complex:
Use DHCP once:
ifconfig network_card_name plumb
ifconfig network_card_name dhcp up
Use DHCP after re-boot:
Create /etc/hostname.network_card_name
Create /etc/dhcp.network_card_name
Leave both files empty.

Network Card Installation problem

Hi All,
I have HCL LX INIFINITY POWERLITE 6010 G1 laptop which Marvel Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller . I tried lot of time to install the driver of it on Sun Solaris but I am not able to install it. I have done add_drv -i and give device id and vendor id . Still gives error softwares is partially install but not able to connect hardware. This lan driver is installed on Windows and Linux . Can anybody help me to sort out my problem or some pkg to download .
Thanks in advance.

I don't think your network card is Solaris compatible. A good stable choice is 3C905 by 3Com and Intel eepro100.
2) I have got a no name brand network card with
Realtek RTL8029 chip. At the begining of the
installation, the hardware detection software does
detect the card and assign resources to it. Later on
during the installation, the program ask me what IP
address to assign to the system, so I enter an IP
address. AS soon as, I click OK. I got a messange
like the IP address can not be assigned to the network
card. Does this mean my network card is not
compatible?Chetan Bhargava

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

Hello people,
I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
Thanks

Dear Gents,
I have one X86 Solaris Server configured and installed to be Sun Management Center Server.
successfully i could monitor the Sun Solaris Servers after i have installed the SMC agent on them.
my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.
