Hi,
With the new SR firmware to both hardcode SRSS parameters and VPN
details into the clients, will it soon be possible to run SunRays from a
zone?
There is currently no plan for such a feature.
I am launching a new service in the UK, aimed at offerring small business a
complete business solution via ADSL, obviously the ability to seperate
customers via zones (and the associatted ability to move/clone etc.) would
offer me a real benefit management wise.
So, what is stopping SRSS from being deployed into zones?
The primary issue is that Sun Ray services (most
notably the X server) need to be able to
communicate with SRSS, and today that
communication relies heavily upon the file system.
The protections between zones make this
problematic. Work was done in the forthcoming 4.0
release to allow Sun Ray to work with Solaris 10
TX extensions, which use zones in a somewhat
different way that allows us to create the X
server in the global zone while logging the user
into a "labeled zone". Perhaps as TX merges more
fully into the standard Solaris model we'll be
able to apply similar mechanisms within standard
Solaris zones and offer such a feature.
Today, and in all current plans for the future,
SRSS can only be installed in a global zone.
