Good article about remapping the serial ports so at the very least you're
not being bothered with these long names.
Secondly, of course, patch up your Solaris 10.
Also, patch up your SRSS with patch 120879.
Rev.1, the current, already solves a few serial port issues.
Rev.2 has not been released, but can be acquired by downloading the new Sun
Ray Connector for Windows Beta Refresh.
You don't want rev 02. We found a major issue just
after it went out (actually 02 went out by accident
before we were done testing) and will shortly release
Rev 03.
Quickly power-cycling the Sun Ray *ought* to have the same
effect as what Andreas described. Andreas - does control-moon
not have the same effect?
What does ls -l on the devices show at the time you experience
problems?

If that doesn't work and you insist on USB converters, try the ones sold by
QuaTech, http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_usb.php
These are officially compliant with Sun Rays so there should be no problem.
But then again, there shouldn't be any with the internal serial ports either
:-)

Hi all,
we have problems with the serial ports of a Sun Ray 170. From time to
time our application simply can't open the ports.
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.0003baffb8f3/dev/term/a
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.0003baffb8f3/dev/term/b
Since the problem appears always for both ports at the same time I
conclude that this is rather a SRS issue than an issue in our
application. The hard solution to fix this is to plug the power cable
of the Sun Ray, wait a minute until SRS has realized that the sun ray
is no longer there - this causes the devices to be removed - and then
power on the Sun Ray again (devices reappear).
Any idea what causes these problems? Is this a known bug in SRS 3.1? We
are on Solaris 10 03/05 SPARC! The sometimes can be accessed again
after half an hour os so, but this is no solution. Can we - as a
workaround - programmatically trigger the regeneration of the port
devices? This would be an ugly hack, but...
We need to get this working ASAP. As an alternative can anybody
recommend a device (ethernet to at least two serial ports, USB to at
least two serial ports) that could be accessed from a Solaris
application and that would make up a more reliable solution than using
the serial ports of the Sun Ray?
Hints are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Andreas
