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.

Dear Toomas, tso...@mac.com said: if you have contract, download latest from MOS for sure It seemed to want to give me the full versions from oracle delivery cloud rather than MOS. I got that and diff'd file against version I picked up a few weeks ago and both are them same. tso...@mac.com said: also, note while indeed you cant add patch with patchadd, the SRSS patch bundled inside the package can be installed manually - it has only 2 files to be copied into place (in reloc tree). if you dont feel comfortable messing with it, you can leave it and hope the s11 native SRSS will be out soon enough;) I have never tried doing that sort of thing. 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.

I got that and diff'd file against version I picked up a few weeks ago and both are them same. The current version is 5.3.1. To download that, go to MOS, click on PatchesUpdates 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. Only the base releases (5.3.0 for example) are available to the public via edelivery.

[SunRay-Users] Advice: Sunray on Solaris 11/SPARC with private interconnect
Dear All, I am attempting to get the (unsupported) configuration of SunRay server installed on Solaris 11 on a T5140 (SPARC) with SunRay service only running on a private-interconnect network. I have tried various things today on a fresh install of Solaris 11, using various hints and tips from web sites etc but not yet got anything fully working. I have not yet found any advice precisely to the private interconnect configuration. To be clear, I installed Solaris 11 from a text installer off a DVD and then when booted, I added certificates for OS support (we have a contract), changed the package repository etc, added the slim_install package (and then removed the package as advised), created a new BE and then tried to install SunRay server srs_5.3.0.0-SunOS.sparc. Various things did install, but I never got to the end without something being wrong.. Anyway, I have now tidied up, removed the broken BEs and I have just created a nice fresh BE to start again.. So, any advice, any pointers?? As I commented at the start, we run SunRay service only on a private-interconnect LAN and not on a shared LAN. I can't find advice so far on that configuration with Solaris 11. Thanks in advance for whatever advice folks can offer.
