Sun Ray workstations and Server Win2K.

Hi guys,
I wondering if you can help me to figure out how could I configur run Sun Ray sessions from the Server Win2K. I'm using a Server 2000 + Citrix Metaframe on it.
Also I have 2 Sun Ray workstations that linked(by router) to an one small network with the server.
I'll appreciate for any help or suggestions.

I did not have any problems getting my test Sunray server running version 5 to access Citrix. However the issue we are having is getting the credentials passed through with the DOD CACs.

Sun Ray, windows & and USB card readers

Hi all,
I read, or was told that the new version of the SR software (version 5) should enable more USB devices to work in combination with Sun Ray.
We currently serve our users with windows via SunRay - and it works very well. The only issue being that we need to get usb card readers - such as the acr38 to work with SunRay. Until now this has not worked. Does anyone know whether this is currently possible or whether this should be possible using SR 5?
thanks and regards,
Paul

Hi,
Do you provide terminal server desktop or a VDI based 'XP' desktop to your users ?
the next early access release (EA2) will support additional USB support; it seems only for VDI based 'xp' desktops; so that might solve your USB card reader request if you provide XP desktops.
The current PC/SC release does support some kind of second card reader attached to the sunray. Never looked indepth into this feature but i did see it read the card from the additional reader with the added debug tools.
Do you actually need this second card reader? Maybe you could use the PC/SC passthrough to windows to read the your card in the windows backend losing the second card reader.
if all else fails you could try a network USB hub. This device is attached to the network and your reader is attached to the device. Then you use a client on the windows environment to connect to the device; hence connect to your USB reader. The client on the windows environment that works with the device i've tested was only able to run just once on a terminal server.. so this is not a very scaleable solution if you run terminal server.

Patrick

Sun Ray Client and VDI 3.0

Hello,
I have a working VDI 2.0 setup and an evaluation VDI 3.0 setup. However, when I point my Sun Ray term, using the GUI firmware, to the VDI 3.0 server I don't get a login screen - just that its connected.
Am I missing something?

Hi again, I just replied to your other thread.
I was having the same problem, when I assigned the pseudo token ID to a virtual machine/desktop.
If that's the case, try unassigning it, and you should get the login prompt.

Boot Sun Ray to specific server in FOG

I want to boot 5 Sun Ray DTU's to a specific server in our FOG. I recall something from a while back where you could use a file with the mac address of the DTU to point to a specific server but can't find anything on it now. Thanks in adavnce,

The default answer here is " Use AMGH ( Advanced MultiGroup Homeing ) to direct a uniq sunray TOKEN to a destination server "
But since you say that the server is in a FOG , the server might well decide to loadbalance the sunray client off to one of its peers in the FOG.
The servers in a FOG needs to provide the same resources to its clients for loadbalancing to be pratical. If as an example, three server in
a FOG has access to three different Homedirectory filesystems with different users on each , they should probably not be in a FOG,
since loadbalancing isnt feasible.

Bug or wrong configuration of the Sun Ray Server+DTU+17" and 24" screenres.

I have 2 DTU, one has a 17" screen with a resolution of 1280x1024 and the other DTU has a 24" screen with a 1900x1200 resolution attached. The setting of the Sun Ray server is configured only that registrated cards, can make an kiosksession to VMware View 4.6.
When I start the DTU's, there is nothing wrong. The correct screen resolution is displayed on the screen for both DTU's. When I put a smart card into the DTU that has a 17" attached, it's indicates the correct resolution. The problem starts when I hotdesk to the other DTU with the 24" attached to, the session what was builded on the 17" will be showed on the 24". So the the resolution is 1280x1024. With this action there's nothing wrong, because the kiosksession is made on the 17" and no disconnection is made, so this is a correct resolution at this point. When I pull the card out of the 24" DTU, the screenresolution will be still at 1280x1024. It's looks like the setting will be saved on the DTU. Only a restart of a DTU will turn back the good resolution.
When I do the same as the case before, but only I start at the DTU with 24" screen the kiosksession will start at 1900x1200. When I hotdesk to the Other DTU the kiosksession is still at 1900x1200, but only this time when I pull out the card out of the 17" DTU, The DTU will give the right screen resolution of 1280x1024
the DTU's are Sun Ray 3 Plus, it doesn't matter which DTU's I place, the problems seems like that the DTU will save the last screen resolution. I got 300 of these DTU's and try a lot of them, but still the same issue.
Note: with each case explained in this thread, the kiosksession will be started at first time, the kiosksession is not builded yet or has been disconnected.
This behaviour is with a standard installation and configuration of Sun Ray server software 5.1.2. No extra script is implemented. Also I tried the UTRESIZE script that I've found on this forum, but it didn't helped.
Is this problem a bug (known issue) or is this a wrong configuration of me? This is a big issue for me

I have also a lot of fun with different screens, so I walk the "hardwired" mostly when I run into my screen does not look like correctly.
utresadm -a -c MAC -t default 1280x1024@60 ... and then this is nailed, whatever you do with this box. Very effective especially for beamers ...
what you can set, utresdef is your friend, utresadm -p show all the devices overwritten in case you need to change for a new monitor. And finally utresadm -d -c MAC -t default clears the setting.

Sun Ray server software and Sun DSEE

I want to have a centralized user administration in the latest sun java 7 directory server. i want to set up the system in that the users of the sun ray thin clients will be authenticated from
the DSEE. Please assist me in how to make this work.

Basically, you Sun Ray server must be an LDAP client: it must be set up so that when logging in, it actually authenticates users against DSEE.
DSEE can be installed on the same host as the Sun Ray server, but it's not a requirement. On the contrary, in such a case, you've got to be
careful in the start order of services at boot time. So the easiest way is to have DSEE and the Sun Ray server on separate machines.
How to configure both servers is explained here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18752_01/html/816-4556/ldapsetup-1.html
Or at least, it's a good starting point.

Sun Ray Server Software and Sun Desktop Manager integration

Hello,
I have installed and configured SRSS and Desktop Manager..and they're working.
But... how to integrate them?...

Will the Sun Ray Server Software 1.2 for Workgroup
Servers work on a Sun Blade 100?Yes, it'll work. An SB100 won't support many
concurrent Sun Ray users but it'll be OK for a
handful of users doing normal (non-multimedia)
work. Put as much physical memory into the box
as you can afford, and remember to configure an
appropriate amount of swap.

How can I redirect USB from Sun ray to Win2003 terminal server

Hi
I am running Sun Ray 4.2 in Solaris with SRWC 2.2 in a Kiosk mod to Windows terminal server 2003 , how can I allow users to use their USB divices from Sun Ray and appear automatically in their Windows desktop ..I try adding the following line to mikioskhdlr_win script
UTTSCPARMS="-m -b -A 24 -r sound:high" - r disk:M=/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/$USER
but it did not work .. please help

If you are using the USB Drive Daemon or manually specifying the mount then there are no issues with user access. That's only an issue with the the built in USB pass through included with SRSS 5 which is connecting directly to Windows and in essence the physical machine. The former is just mounting a network drive which is user specific.

Sun Ray Server x64 or T2?

Hi,
I have been searching around looking for some advice/benchmarking for what hardware is best for Sun Ray servers. My plan is to use the Sun Ray VMware View Connector and so the Sun Ray server will only be managing the sessions rather than providing the desktop.
Therefore, would a T2 system give more consistent performance than a x64 system? and, how many Sun Ray sessions could be expected to be managed by a T5120 or a X4100?
Finally, is running the Sun Ray server in a VM a supported config?
cheers,
Simon.

We have found that x86 series server far out strip the T series boxes for Sun Ray.
A X4100 with 8GB RAM should be able to handle 100 odd sessions. We build for our Customers on a model of around 125 sessions per server. We used to use X4100 but have moved to X4140, if you bumped the RAM on these to 16GB you should get more.
Sun Ray runs poorly under VMware and if you need to go down that route run lots of little Sun Ray servers with no more than 20 odd DTU per server.
Hope this helps

Sun Ray and Tarantella error in DISPLAY

I am facing the same problem.
I installed Tarantella 4.2 on Solaris 9. It worked well. I can open
sessions on both Windows and Unix servers.
But when I installed Sun Ray Server Software the error began to appear
when I connect using Tarantella to Windows servers.
I can login to the web interface and launch X-Applications. But Windows
applications give the error:
"can't read "DISPLAY": no such variable (error = NONE)
ErrCommandExecutionFailed

jhaddad,
1. Do not start sgd from the rc files start it manually after the system has
booted.
2. Change the permissions on the /tmp/X11-unix directory to allow non root
processes to write to it.
3. Change the sgd binary ttaxpe so that its group is set to root and chmod it so
that it has the "set guid" bit set (This means then when it executes it will run
with a group permission of root, which is how the standard Sun Xsun process runs).
Our recommendation would be to use option 3.

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?

Solaris containers + sun ray server

just some theoretical question...
would it be possible to put a sun-ray session into a solaris container, stop it, move it to some other machine, and restart it there?
never played with containers and maybe i am compleatly wrong here...

well, i'd say that dhcp is not an issue. i am running srss without local dhcp and the clients in some other networks using other ip's/dhcp (i know -- unsupported config, but it has it's advantages).
i've just read some docs about containers, and it seems, since opensolaris b36 it is possible to stop containers and restart them on some other node... but it seems that patchlevels and kernel needs to be the same... ...so it would not be possible to move container+srss, update server A, move container back and update server B.
may you explain, in more detail, the CAM idea?
