The unm_nic driver is provided with the HP XC software distribution, however, it does not load
correctly.
If your system has a NC510F 10 GB Ethernet card, run the following commands to load the driver:

Then, edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file and specify unm as the driver for the eth device
assigned to the NC510F driver.
