The simplest way to do this is to configure your
DHCP server to offer option 66 to point to your TFTP
server, and make sure you have firmware files as well
as .parms files in your /tftpboot directory. You need to
preserve the normal symlinks/naming conventions that
Sun Ray servers use for firmware.
Make sure your .parms files have a "servers" entry
listing your FOG servers, and you might want to add
"select=random" for better LB. See the Administration
Guide for details.

Hi,
I am running 3 Sunray server 3.1, Solaris 10 x86. Instead of running 3 DHCP
server with 3 non-overlapping range, I want to run an external FedoraCore
DHCP server within the same subnet. So it's purely for the Sunray DTUs.
This way, I have a central place to manage DHCP IP address, lease, etc.
Next time, if I deploy 2 more sunray servers, I don't have to worry abt
non-overlapping IP address or re-configure utadm/DHCP.
Also, I don't want to distribute firmwares to 3 servers. Can I just load
the firmware in the DHCP / TFTP server? So one central location to
distribute firmware. Possible?
What would the settings be?
subnet 192.168.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers <no dns server required>
option interface-mtu 1500;
option routers 192.168.16.1;
vendor-option-space NewT;
option NewT.AuthSrvr 192.168.16.21 <pri sunray server>;
option NewT.AltAuth 192.168.16.22; 192.168.16.23; <sunray server 2
& 3>
option NewT.FWSrvr 192.168.16.20 <DHCP server ? Possible?>
option NewT.NewTVer "<what ever the new firmware is>";
...
What is the downside?
1) What happens if the DHCP is down?
Assuming IP address are still assigned to DTUs. Can users login?
2) If I power cycle a DTU, will it connect? I think it won't.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Alan
