Hi Bob,
I have 2 SunRay Server VM in FOG. They should be replicating data between
themselves as they share the user data. Regarding the monitor resolution
problem. When a DTU is restarted without a smart card inserted, it will use
the highest resolution the monitor can support (1280x1024 on a 17" CRT).
When a smart card is inserted, most of the time it does not re-set to
1024x768. So we had to set it to utxconfig -r '1024x768' in the
windows_connector CAM script in both servers in order to get the 1024x768
resolution. The DTU may start up in 1280x1024 though.
And yes, I am using smart cards (GEMPlus, & ASK) to present the user's
virtual desktop, and each user is assigned his/her personal desktop. So a
user is also assigned his/her personal SunRay DTU. In a way, it is easier
to identify which DTU is connected with a bigger monitor. I guess we also
use the token ID to give users specific service like sound / usb disk?
So within a single windows_connector CAM script, I will have:
1) resolution for big monitors, else general resolution of 1024x768
2) specific users with sound else no sound
I will try out how the "-r sound:low" sounds like on a SunRay DTU.
I may have to use your 1st method of if-then-else because I am using "grep
"Other Info" | awk '{ print $4 }'` to map user's smart card to the user's
virtual desktop.
I will test this out after office hours. Whatever I do to the windows
_connector CAM script seems to affect users right away.
Thanks for the advice.
Regards,
Alan

Sorry, but this makes no sense. Something else is
going on. First of all, utxconfig -r does nothing
to the session, directly. It sets a preference
for the token, and it sets it persistently, so you
won't need to ever run it again for that token.
It's the X server that reads the token preference
(again using utxconfig internally) and sizes
appropriately. Secondly, unless you've set a
preference for a specific token, the default
preference will be reported to the X server by
utxconfig. This is widely enough used that we'd
have heard before now if something so basic
were buggy, so I suspect your configuration
or perhaps monitors/cables (see below).
Here's a thought - do you have more than one
server? Have you run utconfig and utreplica so
that they share data? If not, then you might get
inconsistent results in a multi-server FOG. Run
these commands to make things consistent.

Do you use smartcards? Since you mention pseudo
tokens below, it seems not. So, you should be
able to run utxconfig -a to set the default
appropriately for all the other DTUs, and set
utxconfig -r -t pseudo.MAC to set a different
preference for the DTU with the big screen. You
run these commands once, and then that should be
sufficient.
If you've checked all the preferences (try running
utxconfig -o to see them all) and this is how
they're set, and you're still not getting the
right resolutions, then most likely you have
cables or monitors that are not passing/responding
to DDC queries, which is how the Sun Ray
determines the resolutions that the monitor can
support. You may need to use utresadm in that
case, but that's a last resort - see if you can
get utxconfig set up properly and have that work
for you first.

I was under the impression that you'd written your
own CAM script. You'll have to modify this script
then.

Yes, I was imagining something like:
case $SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN in
pseudo.xyz)
pseudo.abc)
...
SOUND=low
;;
*)
SOUND=off
;;
esac
uttsc -r sound:$SOUND ...
Although it would be better not to hard code your
token list in the script itself, and instead to
read it from a file. I haven't tested this but
maybe something like:
SOUND=off
while read TOKEN; do
if [ $TOKEN = $SUN_SUNRAY_TOKEN ]; then
SOUND=low
break
fi
done < $YOUR_TOKEN_FILE
uttsc -r sound:$SOUND ...
The best thing to do, from a maintenance POV, is to put this
code stanza into a file by itself, and simply modify the
CAM script minimally, something like:
< uttsc ...
--------
> . YOUR_CODE_STANZA_FILE
> uttsc -r sound:$SOUND ...
The "." command will "source" your code stanza before
executing the uttsc command.
Doing it this way makes applying your modifications to any
new CAM scripts delivered by patches or new releases simpler.
