Hi Guys,

In our environment, our security office requires us to use static DHCP
and put Sunrays that reside different buildings on different subnets.
Don't ask:) We are allowed to configure our two SRSS servers to run with
IPs on the remote subnets so that we can serve SRSS and DHCP to the
various subnets.  At the moment I serve three subnets from three
physical NIC cards on my Sunfire V490s with no problems (ce0, ce1, and
hme0).  Failover works because I configure each Sunray with two
different static IP addresses (one on each SRSS server). I just received
a new requirement to serve 2 Sunrays in a remote building that have to
be on yet another subnet.  Rather than adding another physical NIC card
to my system to serve two Sunrays, I decided to setup a virtual NIC
instead:

%utadm -a hme0:1

I configured this virtual NIC to have a 138.109.207.133 IP address and
to serve 138.109.207.134 to 138.109.207.249.

The problem is that DHCP does not seem to work from my virtual
interface.  I use dhcpmgr to manage my pools of IP addresses and lock
them in statically to the Sunrays MAC addresses, but for some reason I
cannot serve out to this subnet on my virtual interface. Does DHCP not
work from virtual interfaces? Is there anything published by Sun
addressing this?    

I can go grab another NIC card and install it, but if the number of
subnets continues to grow, I will soon run out of PCI slots and have to
buy another two servers.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian Whyte

        Well, I finally made my way out to the client site with a cable
tester.  Went around and found which SunRays were listed in utcapture as
dropping packets, etc.  Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be my
problem.

        The SunRays that were dropping packets are NOT the SunRays
showing the screen refresh issues.  The SunRays that ARE having the
screen refresh issue don't appear to have any packet loss issues!  Note
that my problems are ONLY with StarOffice too.

        Perhaps the question is best posted on a StarOffice user's group
:-)

Thanks!

Yes, but if you want users to be able to connect to the same session
whether running SRSS or SGD then you either have to have them always use
a SGD session or use SRSS and SGD as a jumping off point to get to the
real session on a different server which would typically imply RDP and
Windows Terminal Services. Since that would not apply to the environment
I am in we would have to go with the first option which means a license
for every user.

Thanks for the reminder though, it's easy to forget the difference in
licensing between the two products.

Another thing to check is that you have enabled TS (Control Panel, 
Add/Remove, Windows Components) and are not just using the default admin

RDP connections that allow for only two connections.  This would result 
in each DTU stealing the last connection and would duplicate your 
symptoms exactly.
