Cannot configure secondary Sun Ray server

Question

Hi All,
I have just re-built a secondary Sun Ray Server (4.0) running on Sun Fire X2200 (AMD) Open Solaris X86 platform with the following commands, the primary identical server is still working:
1. On primary server.
# /opt/SUNWut/srds/lib/utldbmcat \
/var/opt/SUNWut/srds/dbm.ut/id2entry.dbb > /tmp/store
2. On secondary server for the rest of steps.
FTP this file /tmp/store from primary server to the /tmp directory on secondary server.
3. Follow the directions in the Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 Installation and
Configuration Guide to install Sun Ray Server Software.
4. After running utinstall, configure the server as a primary server for the
group. Make sure that you use the same admin password and group signature.
# utreplica -u
# utreplica -s <existing-primary-server>
5. Shut down the Sun Ray services, including the data store:
# /etc/init.d/utsvc stop
# /etc/init.d/utds stop
6. Restore the data:
# /opt/SUNWut/srds/lib/utldif2ldbm -c -j 10 -i /tmp/store
This populates the primary server and synchronizes its data with the secondary
server. The replacement server is now ready for operation as the primary server.
7. Restart Sun Ray services:
# utrestart -c
8. (Optional) Confirm that the data store is repopulated:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utuser –l
However, the following issues still remain unresolved:
( i ) Only a few of the Thin Clients are connecting through secondary rebuilt server.
( ii ) As a result of ( i ), no load balancing of the number of connections between primary and secondary servers. Where is the script on either of the servers responsible for alternating the connections?
( iii ) An Oracle Common Desktop logon prompt is displayed on those Thin Clients that are connected through secondary rebuilt server, as opposed to getting a familiar MS Windows 2003 logon prompt, consistent with majority of those Thin Clients going through primary working server.
Any other troubleshooting material on this area would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Answer 1

- So both servers are running, being a FOG and accepting connections ?
- check with the UI https://server1:1661 ... both servers should be there and visible
- output of utgstatus on both servers ?
something like
root@host02 <> : / > utgstatus
hostflags interface flags
xxx.yyy.zzz.0/24
host02 TN xxx.yyy.zzz.1 UA-
host01 TN xxx.yyy.zzz.2 UA-
- how do the the DTUs connect, e.g via the load balanced DNS entry sunray-servers with both servers ?
nslookup sunray-servers
Name: sunray-servers
Address: xxx.yyy.zzz.1
Name: sunray-servers
Address: xxx.yyy.zzz.2
Just give us here more info, I have two systems here, that load balance perfectly around 300 Connections, so it is feasible (Sun Ray 5.2.3 and VDI 3.3)
