What NIC does the machine have? My solution on Rx10 with the BCM NICs was to grab the bnx driver blob from Joyent [ https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/tree/master/overlay/generic/kernel/drv/amd64/bnx] and throw that in /kernel/drv/amd64/bnx, bootadm update-archive, and reboot. The BMC works great with that driver loaded and not the stock one.
