Regarding the network part
First of all, whenever you change something hardware wise, run the following:
Quote:
touch /reconfigure
init 6
rm -rf /reconfigure
There are several ways to force Solaris to scan and update it self for new hardware but this is the method I like the most.
Second, using the following command you can see all the Ethernet cards that are physically connected to the computer:
Third, before you can use the card you need to plumb it, basically it allows the OS to use it and assign an IP to it, once you do that you'll see it when you run ifconfig. You plumb an interface only once, the automatic plumbing job belongs to the file you create per interface:
Quote:
/etc/hostname.e1000g0
/etc/hostname.e1000g1
and so on..
