General Notes: SAS 6/iR configuration tested.
CERC6 configuration tested.

Tested the following option cards:
Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708 Dual Port GbE I/O Card
Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 Dual Port GbE I/O Card
Emulex LPe1105-M4 a?? Emulex Dual Channel FC4 HBA for blades
QLogic Corp. Dual-port FC8 Qlogic QME2572

In order to have support for the Broadcom BCM5709S network card a driver must be added. This driver can be downloaded from the Broadcom web site.
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php
Download the Solaris GLDv3 driver(version 4.4.3). In order to do a network install the mini-root must be patched to allow Solaris to install over the network using this network card and you must follow the post-install workaround to add the driver to the system after the initial install.
The post-install workaround is to download the driver, do a pkgrm BRCMbnx to remove the current bnx driver, and then do a pkgadd on the new version 4.4.3 BRCMbnx package.
