Well, it should be an automatic process by the DTU!
Otherwise I don't see how you can have a mandatory PUI "profile" which locks down the Sun Ray.

So, how does Sun thinks we are going to roll this update out?
Is the only way to update 10000 sunrays without the need for on site configuration, to create 10000 config.MAC files in /tftpboot with the correct mac-addresses?
What if i missed a couple of config.MAC files?
Say these DTU's are located 300 km from my location.
Can I query the configuration to see if someone has tampered with the settings?
What if the password and the config.MAC file has been changed?
How do i reset it remotely?
The documentation does not support these questions at all!

Please, I need some reassuring words.....

What if the password is set

Hello Brad,

Can you set a mandatory config.??? in /tftpboot for every sunray in the failover group?
Yes. this "default" I mentioned below only is the default text in the "download configuration" menu. You may type anything that you want.

for example.... tftpserver:srconfig

Where srconfig sets MTU, and PUI password.

Then everything else will be configured through the network or parms.

Is dhcp option 66 required or will the sun ray firmware also use dns to find the sunray-config-servers to download the config.???
I don't know... I haven't tried it. I suspect that this pre-filled text field for the tftp server to load the config from will come from either of:

FWsrvr Vendor DHCP option
Option 66
sunray-config-servers


file from /tftpboot?
Will it be possible to set the mtu value in the config.??? file?

yes

Kind regards,

Ivar

The PUG has a password capability.

It also has the ability to download a config file which sets this PUG password (and other options if desired) without actually knowing the password...

i.e. the person deploying the DTU would unbox it and then select to download the config file... thus configuring and locking the DTU.

By default the download config menu uses the TFTP server from Option 66/Vendor Option, and config.MAC as the file name. This can be edited at time of invocation.

Hi,

just glanced over the docs and found the paragraph describing the
new "Pop-up GUI". How can this be disabled? Either by a password
or better "physically": Having to deal with SunRays "configured"
by students there would be no good reason left to deploy SunRays
instead of PCs in our environment.

Hopefully there's some "magic" to disable this "Pop-up GUI"...
