Operating system or partition requirements
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the new feature and that you determine if there are any existing prerequisites. To do this, use the IBM® Prerequisite Web site at http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf
.The 10 Gigabit Ethernet-SR PCI Express® Adapter is supported on the following versions of the AIX® and Linux operating systems:
- AIX Version 6.1 with the 6100-03 Technology Level, or later
- AIX 5L™ Version 5.3 with the 5300-10 Technology Level, or later
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5 Update 3, or later
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, or later
AIX host bus adapter (HBA) and Ethernet drivers are contained in the following file sets:- devices.ethernet.ct3
- devices.ethernet.ct3.rte //HBA
- devices.ethernet.ct3.cdli //ENT
AIX device attributes are contained in the following file sets:- devices.pciex.2514300014108c03 (SR adapter)
- devices.pciex.2514310025140100 (BladeCenter® hardware)
Preparing for installation
If you are installing your operating system at this time, install your adapter before you install the operating system. If you are installing only the device driver for this adapter, install your device driver software before you install the adapter.
If you are running the total diagnostics package you need a wrap plug for the multimode fiber connector used for the adapter. To connect to a network, you need a shortwave (850 nm) 50/62.5 micron multimode fiber network attachment.
