Re: [SunRay-Users] VDI and NexentaStore
For versions below 3.4 it will not work. When adding the NexentaStore storage, VDI complains about missing packages for iscsi. This is because the package names have changed with the new crossbow network. As for 3.4.1 i am not sure yet. see: https://blogs.oracle.com/mprove/entry/vdi34 There might be some new ways to hook up other solutions as a storage device.

Re: [SunRay-Users] Advice: Sunray on Solaris 11/SPARC with private interconnect
Dear Toomas, Bjoern and all, having installed the extra packages, added tomcat I then ran ./utsetupand answered questions. I am currently running it without the 9new) firmware so had to tell it to carry on with "Y" at the appropriate question. SO, I gave "Y" to license conditions, Y to continue without firmware, return to Java question and Y to the Sun Ray Server 4.4 question. It then seemed to proceed o.k., but then ended with... = Installation of Sun Ray Server Software has completed. ./utinstall[466]: main[409]: handle_component[293]: installed_rev[168]: showrev: not found [No such file or directory] Updating software, please wait. Stopping Sun Ray services, please wait ... ./utinstall[466]: main[409]: handle_component[298]: do_patchadd[224]: patchadd: not found [No such file or directory] There was an error in Patch installation. Please check the above output for details. Please check for errors/warnings in /var/adm/log/utinstall.2012_08_21_12:27:13.log +++ Done. root@wiked:~/sunray/srs_5.3.1.0-SunOS.sparc# = Now, I am not surprised by the "patch" remarks of course (I'm on Solaris 11), so do folks think that is an o.k. install for Solaris 11? I am a bit puzzled it did NOT ask me about failover groups, signatures and whether or not I wanted LAN service (which I do not, only private interconnect). I suspect I am going to have to run some commands individually (as in the old days...) and that utsetup has not really done what I want... The previous times I ran utsetup it was during "upgrades" and not a fresh install as this is... comments folks?

Re: [SunRay-Users] Advice: Sunray on Solaris 11/SPARC with private interconnect
also note that you need 2 downloads; one for sunray firmware (or operating software as they call it now) and one for SRSS itself and you need to install firmware package first. toomas On 21.08.2012, at 13:51, Dave Price wrote: > Dear Bjoern, > > > b.r...@portrix.net said: >> The current version is 5.3.1.

I have now downloaded it, and blown it apart, I see it is indeed a full version (well, at least by considering the output of du -ks srs_5.3.1.0-SunOS.sparc and comparing that with the size of the 5.3.0 version. I will now have another go starting from this... I have a nice clean "BE" with the packages that Toomas noted in it (and a spare copy if I mess it up :-) ). Your email was most timely as I was about to start with 5.3.0 so I shall now start with 5.3.1.

The current version is 5.3.1. To download that, go to MOS, click on Patches&Updates and do a product family search for "Sun Ray Server" and also for "Sun Ray Operating Software". Or just search for these two ids: 14218422 and 14218449 They are called patches in MOS but really are full installation packages. and you need to have an active support subscription.

Are there any docs/pointers that woudl show me how to pull a Solaris 10 package apart? I will get that off patches on MOS and see what it looks like anyway. I, like many, am waiting for the "official" Sol 11 release. I want to move our "teaching" Unix servers to Sol 11 to give the students a more modern UI, but to do that, I just have to get SunRay working. Teaching starts mid September so this is now really my only time slot to try to make things work. I am upgrading the one of our T5140s first (leaving the other untouched) just in case it all goes pear-shaped... Thats for comments/info to date, much appreciated. I have the list of extra packages installed now, so I shall make a new BE before trying to add the SunRay server stuff. I am quite impressed (at quick glance) by the new (August) edition of the SunRay admin guide, it looks much better than we have had before.

Thanks. I am just going to check I really do have the "latest" versions of the SunRay Server software too I think (we have a contract). The one I last downloaded came as a file called V32064-01.zip which exploded into a directory called srs_5.3.0.0-SunOS.sparc Given I can't use Solaris 10 patches, is that the latest folks think I should have?

Re: [SunRay-Users] Advice: Sunray on Solaris 11/SPARC with private interconnect
Dear All, You will recall I asked for advice with regards to SunRay support on T5140s running Solaris 11. Perhaps I should add that (of course) our T5140 is a four-interface machine and we normally have 1/. nxge0 (now net0) as an interface to one of our normal IP networks 2/. nxge1 connected to the SunRay private interconnect (which also normally has another T5140 providing SunRay services too in a failover group with the machine I am currently trying to upgrade). I have the other machine handing out IP addresses via the DHCP/SunRay config in the (64 address) range 192.168.199.16 -> 192.168.199.79. The machine I am trying to upgrade hands out IP addresses via the DHCP/SunRay config in the (64 address) range 192.168.199.80 -> 192.168.199.143. 3/. nxge2 (now net2) as an interface to one of our other normal IP networks 4/. nxge3 (now net3) as an interface to one of our other normal IP networks We don't run 128 SunRays of course, this is just so so that both servers have enough addresses each that all SunRays can run fine when only one server is available to hand out IP addresses.
