10Gig on here should work. I've not had hands-on experience with built-in ones, but I've used add-on cards with X540 to great success. Did you inspect /var/adm/messages for any complaints from "ixgbe"? You're using cat6, which is good. One silly question --> on the BIOS on the OmniOS box, did you enable PCIe mappings for only the low 32-bits? That's a longshot, I know, but it may be an issue. ALSO, we recently had someone else on-list post about X540, and it turned out they needed a firmware upgrade to get it to work. Please make sure your BIOS and device firmware are up to date.
