I have a Supermicro X10SDV-2C-7TP4F [1], the onboard Pentium D1508 has integrated 10GbE (X552/X554 based) interfaces which i'm trying to use with Oracle Solaris 11.3 which didn't work so far, the interfaces don't show up in
I'm new to Solaris and really could need a hand in finding a solution. So far i found out that the ixgbe drivers should work with the X552, OmniOS uses them and the interfaces show up there. I'm still a bit stumped by the lack of information i could find about the NIC, on a system with working drivers (linux, OmniOS, ESXi) they show up as 'X552/X554 based'; searching on Intel's website for X552 doesn't yield any useful results, just a plethora of different cards, Supermicro's block diagram of the mainboard in the manual only shows the 10GbE PHY. Searching the Solaris documentation from Oracle for articles about the ixgbe drivers didn't lead anywhere either. Apparently they exist and should be installed automagically, searching for related packages didn't yield any results.
How can i obtain the ixgbe drivers if those are the ones i need?
Is this related to (possbile) differences between the free version of Oracle Solaris (which i'm using) and the paid/licensed version?
