Get vmxnet3 working on Solaris 11 Express and Vmware ESX 4.0

  • 772

I've installed Solaris 11 express VM and installed tools over it. ESX reports VMware Tools: OK but I can't see vmxnet3 adapter in "ifconfig -a".

Ideas?

solaris vmware-esx vmware-tools

  2. Even if the /etc/hosts, nodename and netmasks files are populated, these steps have to be done.

    To configure a static IP:

    ipadm create-ip <LINK>
ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=<IP>/24 <LINK>/v4static

    To configure using DHCP:

    ipadm create-ip <LINK>
ipadm create-addr -T dhcp <LINK>/v4

    /etc/defaultrouter is deprecated so use:

    route -p add default ip-address
