A. Make sure you have at least Solaris 2.6 5/98 or Solaris 7 5/99 with current
patches installed in *Entire Distribution* metacluster option.
Required Solaris 2.6 patches:
105633-21 or higher
105703-10 or higher
107381-01 or higher
107272-01 or higher
106621-04 or higher
108303-02 or higher
Required Solaris 7 patches (bundled with HW 5/99):
108376-03 or higher
107180-06 or higher
107250-02 or higher
107248-01 or higher
108303-02 or higher
** Make sure you consult the documentation:
/cdrom/cdrom0/Docs/Solaris_2.6+/en/*.ps
**
[Optional: make sure you don't have the SunRay software installed.
type: /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utinstall -u, this will remove everything.
rm -fr /etc/opt/SUNWconn/ldap /etc/opt/SUNWut /opt/SUNWut /etc/http/* ]
Reboot with
reboot -- -rv
Pop in the SunRay CDROM.
Become root.
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
./utinstall
[Hit return on all questions, unless you have SWS installed.]
[utinstall will install Sun Directory Services 3.1, ]
make sure that /etc/system has these two lines:
set maxuprc=50
set pt_cnt=999
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Sun_Directory_Services_3.1/Solaris_2.6+/Tools
cp sunds.lic /opt/SUNWconn/license_dir/sunds.lic,1
reboot -- -rv
make sure that utsessiond is running
Check the installation:
shiznits$ pkginfo | grep SUNWut
system SUNWuta Sun Ray enterprise server Administration Software
system SUNWutj Sun Ray enterprise server Java (JRE) Software
system SUNWutk Sun Ray enterprise server Drivers
system SUNWutkx Sun Ray enterprise server Drivers, (64-bit)
system SUNWutm Sun Ray enterprise server Manual Pages
system SUNWuto Sun Ray enterprise server Core Software
system SUNWutr Sun Ray enterprise server Configuration, (root)
system SUNWutu Sun Ray enterprise server Configuration, (usr)
system SUNWutux Sun Ray enterprise server Configuration, (usr) (64-bit)
shiznits$
by running pkgchk on the above packages.

Q. How do I set up the network interconnect (the network that only has
SunRay appliances on it)?
A. utadm -r
utadm -c
utadm -a hme0 # in this example hme0 is the interface name
At this point the SunRay appliance should start up.
Do some checking:
# utadm -p
Interface Host Network Netmask Connections
hme0 shiznits-xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.0 255.255.255.0 2
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.xxx.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255
ether 8:0:20:7e:94:70
le0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.xxx.117 netmask ffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255

Q. How do I set up the authentication server?
A.
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utconfig -u ## this is very important, otherwise
## utconfig will not work properly
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utconfig
respond with defaults to all questions.
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i clear
start up netscape as root, go to URL: http://localhost:1660
login: admin
^^^^^
password: <the-password-you-set-in-utconfig>
you should be able to log in
and
# utuser -l
Token ID User Name Other Info
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------------
0 tokens total.
#
should list the above. It is *critical* that you get the above output if
you want to proceed. If you get:
# utuser -l
Error: could not connect to admin server
you should run utconfig -u; utconfig
then /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i clear
and try again. If all else fails, remove and read all Sun DS,
Sun WebServer and SunRay packages using utinstall -u,
see above.
--
Q. I can see login screens on the SunRay appliances.
How do I find out what appliances I have available?
A.
# utdesktop -l
Desktop ID Location Other Info
--------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------------
080020b054b7
080020b056af
should tell you.
# utdesktop -o
080020b054b7,,

--
Q. Does the appliance have an USB port hub?
A. Yes. 2A power shared for all 4 ports (500mA each), the hub driver is in
the firmware, it supports most hubs. The mouse and keyboard USB drivers are
also in the firmware of the appliance.
Check out http://www.usb.org and http://www.usbstuff.com
--
Q. My interconnect fabric is not functioning appropriately. Apart from checking
for the obvious reasons (Cat-5 cabling) what should I keep in mind when
setting up my interconnect?
*DON'T*
mix public/company network to connect appliances to SunRay server
use SunRay server as internet/intranet router
use switches that non-negotiate, unbuffered, strict cutthrough,
half-duplex
use shared 10Mbps Ethernet (unsupported)
*DO'S*
assume moderate amounts of statistical traffic multiplexing
(10:1 is a safe ratio)
use _certified_ Cat-5 cabling and installation
use 100 Mbps full duplex networks whenever possible
3Com, Extreme Networks, Foundry switches are recommended.
--
Q. How much memory should I deploy on the server per active user?
A. 25 users per 1 GB of main memory, 25 users per 2GB of swap memory
This may change if users use large applications with high memory
consumption.
--
Q. How much swapspace should I deploy on the server per appliance?
A. 1000MB for the server, 1000MB for the first 4 SunRay1 appliances, 200M
for each additional appliance.
--
Q. How do I set the resolution of the appliance?
A. On the server, type:
/opt/SUNWut/lib/utxconfig -a -r "1152x900"
The double quotes are important with all values.
Q. Are 8-bit PseudoColor visuals allowed on appliances?
A. Not by default. You can enable them by typing as root
utxconfig -a -p "on" # 24 bit TrueColor remains the default
utxconfig -a -p "default" # 8 bit PseudoColor becomes the default
utxconfig -a -l # to check your settings.
as root:
utxconfig -d `uname -n`:9.0 -p "on" # on display number 9
utxconfig -d `uname -n`:9.0 -l # to check your settings.
The double quotes are important with all values.
Q. Is there a command line login option on the SunRay appliance?
A. No.
Q. What files are most useful for debugging?
A. cat /var/opt/SUNWut/log/*
utpolicy
utuser -Lc
utuser -l
utdesktop -l
utadm -p
utxconfig -l
ifconfig -a
Q. If I use a SunRay appliance as a token reader, why can I not use
it as a smartcard reader, i.e. it will not switch sessions when the smartcard
is inserted?
A. This is a design decision.
Q. My sessions are lost for some reason. How do I fix it without rebooting
the server?
A. utpolicy -i clear
Q. I have installed Solaris Desktop Extensions 1.0 on Solaris 2.6 after
installing the SunRay 1 Server software. Now the appliances do not work.
A. Please install Solaris Desktop Extensions 1.0 first, then SunRay 1 Server.
Q. What ports does SunRay use?
A. In addition to the standard X, dtlogin, etc ports it (utsessiond) is using
7007, 7009, 7010. The administration webserver is running on 1660.
Q. I am using OpenGL 1.1.2 on the server, but my OpenGL applications
do not display to the appliance. How come?
A. Please upgrade to OpenGL 1.2 which is the only supported version of
OpenGL supported by SunRay.
Q. I am trying to run utload on the server, it does not work.
A. utload is meant to be used on appliances only.
Q. A disabled smart card can still login to an appliance if it was used once
before being disabled.
A. Disable the card by the utuser -di token_id command.
examine /etc/opt/SUNWut/utadmin.conf, locate admin.subtree value.
export BASE <admin.subtree value>
export RAWTOKEN <card ID you want to acquire a logical token for>
ldapsearch -b "$BASE" "utRawTokenIDS=$RAWTOKEN"
ldapsearch -b "utname=corona51,o=v1,o=utdata" \
"utRawTokenIDS=MicroPayflex.000051fe65000100"
/opt/SUNWut/lib/utdtsession -t user.927844461-7650 delete < /dev/null
Q. What do the dashes mean under the hourglass after the appliance is
power-cycled?
A.
One dash: waiting for interconnect
Two dashes: DHCP pending
Three dashes: Waiting to connect to Authentication Manager
Q. My dtlogin is very slow, the screen refreshes line by line on the appliances.
A. ifconfig -a reveals that MTU is not set to 1500. Make sure it is set to
MTU=1500 , make sure that /etc/init.d/rootusr is not customized.
Q. I only see a green newt on the SunRay appliance. What does this indicate?
A. This indicates a problem with utsessiond. Make sure port indicated in
file /etc/opt/SUNWut/auth.permit is not used before starting utsessiond.
To work around this problem try rebooting.
If you cannot reboot, try
utpolicy -i clear
or
cd /etc/init.d
utsvc stop
utsvc start
Also, refer to Infodoc 21962 for more information.
Q. My appliance is hung at the greeting screen after logging in on dtlogin.
Why is this?
A. make sure that you see the following processes: (there should
be one utaction process per appliance)
# ps -ef|grep utaction
root 2728 1 0 13:38:47 ?
0:00 /opt/SUNWut/lib/utaction -i -t 900 -d /opt/SUNWut/lib/Xcleanup
root 2710 1 0 13:38:47 ?
0:00 /opt/SUNWut/lib/utaction -i -t 900 -d /opt/SUNWut/lib/Xcleanup
Q. Is VLAN supported?
A. Not at this time.
