Hello, Broadcom 57xx (i.e. namely 5719/5720) use the bge v15.3.4 driver. Broadcom 5771x/578x0 series (10gb) use the bnxe 7.4.13 driver.
The updated mr_sas and mpt_sas drivers from Nexenta works on most Dell servers with PERC adapters. oi_151a7 does NOT include many of the recent Illumos kernel nor Nexenta/Joyent/Broadcom/Intel/other updates which will resolve many of the installation issues and server implementations usually done manually. Same issue for many Illumos-based distros not recently updated with the recent mpt_sas/mr_sas driver updates or other driver updates (so it is not OI specific in nature). Hope that helped, Ken Mays ________________________________ From: Roel_D <openindi...@out-side.nl> To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2012 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] rack server recommendation I received a link to the mr_sas drivers from DELL, but for the broadcom nics there was no solution.
