On Solaris 8, after installing Sun Ray 1.2 software with the ./utinstall script, you have to add the interface for the sun ray network with the "utadm -a" command.

You may get an error message indicating failure when trying to configure the dhcp .

Error: stopping dhcp

starting dhcp

using /usr/lib/inet/dhcp/svcadm , unable to configure dhcptab.

This error is caused because the new version (7/01) of solaris 8 tries to use the

/usr/lib/inet/dhcp/svcadm script to configure the SunRay interface (dhcp), while the old versions used the /usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd script.

Check out to see if the directory /usr/lib/inet/dhcp exists. In case it does, it is strongly recommended to reinstall the older version of the Solaris to get rid of the problem.

The SunRay 1.2 software only works with the /usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd script to configure the dhcp. At this time, the solution is for the customer to install and old version of Solaris 8. Need to install 4/01 or earlier. ,
