Hello,
I need to test my 32 bit GLDv3 network driver. I have already tested the 64 bit
one. But I only have 64 bit servers. Is it possible to run 32 bit driver on 64
servers?
Should I install a 32 bit Solaris OS on these servers first? but when I install
Solaris10 or OpenSolris, I do not have the option to select 64 bit or 32 bit
OS, isn't it?

As Ignacio pointed out, there is no separate "32-bit" distro of
Solaris/OpenSolaris. It's an integrated package (which, frankly, is a
/huge/ win over the *BSDs and Linuxes). All the 32-bit support stuff
is there, including the 32-bit kernel. You /will/ need to boot using
the 32-bit kernel to test your 32-bit driver - you can't use a 32-bit
driver in a 64-bit kernel.
