Sun Ray Software Compatibility

hi,
i want to know about the Sun Ray Compatibility with windows.
is Sun Ray server software is compatible with windows? OR
it needs only linux or Sol for installation? if it needs Linux Or Sol for installation then how can it provide Windows Env on the Desktop?
if someone has some Tech documents on how Sun Ray software works and configured, please inform me.
Regards,
Asghar

Sun Ray Server Software runs only on Solaris and Linux, so you need at least one Solaris or Linux system to control your Sun Ray terminals. After you have that you can run a Windows client program (such as rdesktop, Citrix or Sun's Sun Ray Windows Connector) on the Sun Ray server, connect that program to a Windows machine running Terminal Services and have a Windows desktop presented on the Sun Ray.
Sun Ray documentation for the current (3.1) release is at <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1230.3>.

Does the Sun Ray software support Windows 2008

Hey guys,
I need to implement Sun Ray software to connect to windows server 2008 running as a terminal server, but as i understand the current release does not support windows 2008 connection. Am I right?

You may use a third party tool called "VNC". This is a great tool to connect (any) ms windows system either it has server windows or client, but should have installed "VNC" on it.
Yom may download from
http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html
You should install on solaris and windows systems on theri respective versions.
GOOD LUCK!

Sun Ray Software release updates now available

The following maintenance release updates are now available from My Oracle Support:
Sun Ray Software 5.4.2
Sun Ray Operating Software 11.1.3
For a list of bugs fixed, see the product Release Notes Documentation.
Download these releases from My Oracle Support, or go to Downloads on OTN for download instructions.

I'm getting bugged by my gf.. she has an unbranded 5800, a CV but it's stuck on v21.. problem is, her phone is hanging at the start of, during, and at the end of calls.. locking up hard. Thing is, we've never installed anything new on the phone with the exception of the maps update.. She does use it as an alarm clock, so I guess she'd be particularly miffed at it being inaccurate (like I was with my N97.. I now use a real alarm clock instead.. pittyful, I know!)
Introducing timing issues.. I think she can cope with.. She's not using it to read/access email she really just wants a working phone.. I didn't realise how bad it had got until I observed its performance first hand over a day.. 2 crashes! ouch!
So, seeing as Nokia haven't released a CV variant for this product code since v21 (which was very late when it came out earlier this year) and it is very nearly a year old.. is it worth forcing the update issue to try and get a Euro generic v31? Has anyone else noticed basic usage stability improvements? That's the key thing.. new features, speed aren't too important.. its the ability to answer a call without removing the battery that's getting her down

Anyone know when SRSS5 (4.2?) is coming out? Funny I came across SRSS5 today, as just this morning we began research in what it would take to move to LTSP. We have entire departments running off SRSS4.1 on RHEL5. This has been a pretty good solution but Sun insists on keeping SRSS for Linux a poor product when compared to it on Solaris. Things like sound, USB thumb drives, etc are implemented TERRIBLY on their linux software (if at all).
I'd be willing to give SRSS5 a shot if it became available soon. Even a time frame (like end of 2009, spring 2010, etc) would help.

Tnx!!
Small, but important changes: now working with Cisco ASA 5500 VPN (no more downgrade to 4.0 f/w version), working great with a static IP (no VPN phase 2 hang). For now new firmware connecting throw VPN to corporate SRSS 4.1 without any problem.
Keep testing with OSol 2009.06 (2010.02 /dev). Next step - check new (and VERY VERY important) USB redirection features! Next step - testing within (officially supported) Solaris 10 5/09 - any way, its not so interesting. If it is interesting to somebody and not prohibited by EA Program rules - i'll keep blogging about all-around-new-sunray-software :)
Again, thank you!

Sun Ray Software Support for OpenSolaris

Hello. I'd like to know, when the SRSS support for OpenSolaris will be available. There is not enough fresh desktop software for Solaris 10 (even blastwave's gnome and kde are too old). Nowadays we have two quite old Solaris 10 terminal servers and we'd like to move them to our new IBM blades. As I understand there are two choices: use Linux and fresh soft or Solaris 10 and old soft. We'd like to use Solaris 11, but SRSS doesn't support it. It seems that we need to switch to Linux. Could we hope that OpenSolaris support will appear in SRSS in a half a year?

It's hard to see how there could ever be formal support for SRSS on any operating system that is as volatile as OpenSolaris. (I'm assuming you mean the distribution named OpenSolaris, originally Project Indiana. If you mean any arbitrary distribution derived from the OpenSolaris source base then that's even less likely.) I can imagine that SRSS might get repackaged or even relicensed in order to make it easier for people to run it on OpenSolaris, but I can't see Sun signing up to provide the traditional multi-year patch-based support program that SRSS has on its current platforms.
Nevada would be a more plausible candidate for some sort of support commitment. Even there it wouldn't be the traditional model, because Nevada is an unreleased snapshot of Solaris.next in the process of being created and it doesn't have the stability guarantees that a finished Solaris release has. Lots of people inside Sun, and quite a few outside Sun, run SRSS on Nevada. According to hearsay that combinatin has been pretty dependable but that's not a good enough foundation for the kind of guarantee that the formal Sun support model offers.
If I was looking for a shinier newer desktop for my Sun Rays I'd run Nevada. I'd pick a release, test it as hard as I could, then stick with it for at least a few months before doing a Live Upgrade to a later release. And I'd keep an S10 machine (or boot environment) around so that if I encounter problems on the Nevada systems I can try to reproduce it on S10, so that I could open support calls against the S10 system. It's not bulletproof -- Nevada may have problems that don't show up on S10 -- but it's at least some sort of safety net. I'd also be sure to subscribe to the sunray-users mailing list at filibeto.org in the hope that that would get me advance warning of Nevada issues, and maybe help with workarounds for issues if any crop up.

Sun Ray Software Training

I was wondering how most of you gained your knowledge in using Sun Ray Server Software? I received some basic training from a local Sun resource but only with a very basic configuration. Most everything else I've had to learn via the internet/forums. I have signed up for the Sun Ray Server Administration course being held in Massachussetts next month but the last one in San Jose was cancelled due to me being the only one that registered. I am able to get this working well with how we configure and sell it but I know it can do so much more than what we are doing now and am trying to get my skill level much higher implementing this solution. If anyone has any other suggestions for getting training/help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Using USB printer on Sun Ray 2

Can someone direct me to a document or explain how I can configure the Sun Ray Software to allow me the ability to print to a USB printer attached to a Sun Ray 2 thin client. I believe this is possibele using the USB redirection utility but only when connecting to Windows XP desktops. I see it's being done when connecting to Windows 2003 Terminal Server. Any help or info on this would be great.
Thanks!

Here is a repost of my article on the sun-ray users mailing list.
Lars Tunkrans
Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:34:47 -0800
This article is for using Solaris as the Sun Ray server.
I have used a Sun-Ray local USB attached printer in two ways.
Precondition1: The printer was using Postscript rendering.
The printer had its own rendering engine.
The printer was NOT a dumb windows-driver dependant printer.
Precondition2 the user logging on needs to have the printer administrator RBAC role to be allowed
to create /destroy printqueues.
1) Printing from Solaris.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -I postscript -T PS -m printermodel
This will use the solaris lpfilter mechanism to convert the printdata to postcscript protocoll.
2) Printing from Windows.
Set up a solaris printqueue with
lpadmin -p printername -v " sunray devicename" -m printermodel
Set up the windows printer with a working windows Postscript driver.
The windows included hplaserjet-postscript driver works. for a hplaserjet printer.
or any printer emulating the HPlaserjet like many Xerox printers do,
This setup will generate the Postscript protocol on the windows PC , and it will merely
"pass-though" the Solaris spooler without change.
So if you need to print from both the SR server and the windows PC you need to define two spooler queues for each printer. Below are two scripts that have existed in various versions on sun-rays.org that I enhanced a bit and ran from the VDI superstructure to make it do what I wanted. For windows printing you then need to pass the printername as an argument to the "uttsc" startup command.
uttsc ......... -r printer $printername .........

Sun Ray 2 Screen Resolution with 16:9 Monitor

Dear All,
I'm afraid I haven't done anything with the Sun Ray servers for a while and am a little rusty. We're running SRSS 4.2 with SRWC 2.2.
A user has purchased a 23-inch 16:9 monitor whose native resolution is 1280x720, however, this is not listed as an option when I run utresdef. What is the best way to go about making this available please?
Many thanks.
Chris

Anyway, what you're seeing is the expected behaviour. The Sun Ray 3i has only one, fixed resolution. That's 1920x1080. If you hotdesk an existing, smaller desktop to a Sun Ray 3i then that desktop will occupy only a portion of the 3i's screen.
If you're using the latest Sun Ray software you can use the 'xrandr' command to resize the desktop. If you want to do this then you must make sure that the desktop is initially created with the largest dimensions that you will need during the lifetime of the desktop. In this case it sounds like that will be 1920x1080. Use 'utxconfig' to set the desktop to start with these dimensions. Then when the desktop is displayed on a smaller monitor you can 'xrandr' its size down to fit the monitor -- or you can leave the desktop at its full size and let the Sun Ray automatically pan to show the region where the mouse pointer is.
The "Resize and Rotate" X extension (which is what 'xrandr' uses) is relatively new and some applications don't understand it, so depending on what applications you're running you might see some strange behaviour when you use it.

Installation of Oracle VDI 3.4.1 fails at applying the Sun Ray patch

Downloaded VDI 3.4.1 for Solaris, checked md5 OK against download page, attempted a freash installation rather than upgrade and it failed at applying the Sun Ray patch.
Solaris 10 u9 x86 full installation with recommend patches (OK its a ESXi 64 bit virtual machine, but need to test before I try it on the real hardware)
Fresh installation of Solaris & patches (automated via JET), which works fine for installing VDI 3.4
VDI 3.4.1 fresh install
unzip -q p14226229_34_Solaris86-64.zip
cd vda_3.4.1_solaris_amd64
+ Installing Sun Ray Server...
Error: There was a problem installing Sun Ray Software 5.3.1.0
Check '/var/sadm/install/logs/vda-install.2012_07_26_15:46:10.log' for details.
See the log file '/var/sadm/install/logs/vda-install.2012_07_26_15:46:10.log' for additional information.
I check the log file and its failing to install patch 149156-01, looking at the patch log there is a message about attempting to install the same architecture and version of a package which is already installed, then a message from checkinstall "........<full patch to check install>/checkinstall: cannot open"
So has anyone else actually downloaded and installed Oracle VDI 3.4.1 on Solaris 10 u9 x86 successfully?
Paul

OK went back to Oracle VDI 3.3.2 and it was still a problem on this machine. Turns out I made /software where the media is installed a ZFS partition with a quota of 5g (which hasn't hit a limit, its used less than 1g).
So the real question is why Oracle VDI won't install from a ZFS partition?
# This works fine!
mkdir /software
mkdir /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64
cp vdi_332_Solaris86-64.zip /software
cd /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64
unzip -q ../vdi_332_Solaris86-64.zip
cd /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64/vda_3.3.2_solaris_amd64
./vda-install
# This Fails !
zfs create -o mountpoint=/software -o quota=5g rpool/software
mkdir /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64
cp vdi_332_Solaris86-64.zip /software
cd /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64
unzip -q ../vdi_332_Solaris86-64.zip
cd /software/vdi_332_Solaris86-64/vda_3.3.2_solaris_amd64
./vda-install
Root is a ZFS partition and unzip -q works fine (I summed all files in both structures and they are the same). There is something in the vda-install that breaks due to it being a separate ZFS partition.

Solaris 10, Sun Ray Server Software

Hi,
I installed Solaris 10 on my x86 machine and managed to get it (eventually!) configured with a static IP etc.
I then began the install of Sun Ray Server Software and the first part went well. I then performed a reboot as requested using
sync;sync;init 6As this occured i spotted an error saying gzip problem due to not enough space when doing something with the boot_archive. I have since not been able to reboot my machine as I get Error 28: Selected Item cannot fit into memory etc. I found an article on the forums saying log in using the cd to a single user shell, rename the boot_archive to boot_archive.disabled and reboot. This has not had any affect. When rebooting the same error about gzip and space occured and then the error 28 appered. I tried this several times to no avail - once not getting the error 28 but the system not booting and freezing on teh grub window.
Any ideas?!
Regards
Richard

I am not familiar with the boot_archive bit but I have used srss for ages without a problem like that. What kind of system is it on?

Sun Ray Server Software 4.2

Hi,
I have the Sun Ray Server Software 4.2 setup on two servers but have noticed in our FOG that the failover group has stopped working in that only our primary server is been shown and not the secondary server. Due to this all user sessions are connecting to our primary server. I have tried both cold and warm restarts of the secondary server and also physical reboots of both servers. I have also redone the utreplica.
Any help would be grateful?
Kind regards.
Gav.

First, make sure that the secondary server really is still running. 'ssh' to it and check that you get output from 'utgstatus' or log in to its SRSS web GUI and check its status, and if possible 'utswitch' a DTU to it and make sure that you get a session. If SRSS is not running then do a 'utrestart' and then check the previous set of log files (in /var/opt/SUWNut/log with .0 suffixes) for clues about what happened.
If the secondary server is running then its disappearance from 'utgstatus' on the primary means that the network has stopped delivering group membership announcements from the secondary to the primary. These announcements are sent as multicast by default. Some networks have trouble with multicast. If yours is one of those then you can tell SRSS to use broadcast instead, but this requires that the servers have at least one subnet in common (i.e. they both have interfaces connected to the same subnet) and for SRSS 4.2 it requires that you have the -01 patch installed. To use broadcast, edit /etc/opt/SUWNut/auth.props on both servers and set to enableMulticast property to false, then 'utrestart' both servers. ('utrestart' will temporarily interrupt sessions but will not destroy them.) Another alternative if you don't have patch -01 installed is to use 'utgmtarget' to configure unicast announcements in addition to multicast or broadcast. This will also require 'utrestart' on both servers after you create the 'utgmtarget' setting.
OttoM.
