Check to see if the RSC software is already installed.

 # /usr/bin/pkginfo | grep SUNWrsc

If the software is installed the command should output the package name and info.

If the software is not installed the packages can be found on the supplemental CD that came with the Solaris Operating Environment. If you do not have the CD the software can be downloaded from The OracleDownload site. Install the software as you would any Package with pkgadd.

To Check RSC (Remote System Control) Patch/firmware see Document - 1003522.1

When the RSC package is installed it needs to be configured. This is when the network port gets setup and new users are added to the card.

(If you had installed the software before and believe the card is configured check the setup:

 # usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm show

This should return your system setup. There should be hostname serial setting and maybe network setting if the network is setup.

To configure the card run the command:

# usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rsc-config

This will start the configuration script.
