I have an old Sun Ray 1 that I plugged into our network. I am running
Sun Ray Server 3.1 with 120880-06. The Sun Ray 1 has very old
firmware--I get an hourglass icon when I power it on. It draws two
lines under the hourglass indicating it started up and has a network
connection. It is not getting an IP address. When I snoop the network
for its MAC address I see repeated DHCP Discover requests.
DHCP is handled by a Windows 2000 server on our net and has never
been a problem before. I am wondering if the old firmware in this Sun
Ray has to get its IP info directly from a Sun Ray Server since it
probably expects a dedicated network?
Yes. If it is older than 2.0 firmware then it won't support DHCPINFORM
request
and it should get all the parameters from DHCPREQUEST. It will work if
you provide
IP addresses from Sun Ray server.
In situations like this we often recommend a
"filling station" - some way to connect the old
unit directly to the Sun Ray server to get updated
firmware, then you can deploy the unit more
remotely. In the case of 2.0 firmware, users
often need to configure an interface as an
interconnect so that you can provide addresses and
params without interfering with the LAN DHCP
services. With a little experience you don't even
need to connect a monitor - just power and
network, and watch the power light to see when it
reboots a second time (after a firmware load) and
is ready for deployment. Or just leave it alone
for a few minutes.

Note:These are my personal opinions,nothing to do with my employer
I tried using utadm -A to add our network and have the SRS hand out
the vendor specific info, but that didn't help.
Any ideas for getting this on the network and upgraded? Thanks.
