Ok, everything works now. Thanks a lot guys. I would like to submit these instructions to the SunRay wiki. So it can help other noobs like me. Can someone check these instructions to see I have not written something wrong? Maybe someone can try to install SRSS v5 according to these instructions?
Install instructions for SRSS v5 on OpenSolaris b125 ------------------------------------------------------------------ The purpose of this text is to describe how I setup a SunRay OpenSolaris 2009.06 build 125 server, for a home user. I have an Intel Quad Core 9450 cpu + 4GB RAM. SUN recommends ~256MB RAM to each SunRay client. With enough RAM, a quad core can drive twenty ordinary OpenOffice users. This guide is basically the written instructions from Lars Tunkrans and Ottomeister. SRSS v5 is just SRSS v4.2 plus some additional software. My server name is ABC123 and it's IP adress is 192.168.0.181. I also have a D-link 604 as a router with IP adress 192.168.0.1. I use DHCP normally. My server hardware is Intel Q9450, P45 Gigabyte EP45-DS3P motherboard, ATI4850, Intel Deskpro e1000 NIC, AOC-SAT2-MV8 sata controller card which I have inserted into a PCI slot. In a PCI-x slot that card get 1GB/sec, in a PCI slot it gets 150MB/sec. Every piece of my hardware gets detected and installed automatically by OpenSolaris. Basically, just follow the guide from the very beginning on http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRSS_4.1_on_OpenSolaris_2008.11#OpenSolaris_2009.06 Before you follow the guide, create a Boot Environment, so that if you mess up, you can just reboot into a functioning BE. Create a BE: # beadm create snv_125-settingUpSunRayNow # beadm activate snv_125-settingUpSunRayNow And reboot into "snv_125-settingUpSunRayNow" before following these instructions. There are three sections where I departed from the guide, section A) and B) and C) A) "OpenSolaris 2008.11 Installation/Configuration Instructions" - get a static IP A SunRay server with this setup needs a static IP. From my internet provider I get an IP adress via DHCP, which can be a random adress from time to time. Internally, on my own network, I need a static IP adress because the SunRay clients needs to connect to my server, on the same IP adress each time. So we must first get a static IP adress. Here are my configuration files to achieve that: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost loghost 192.168.0.181 ABC123 /etc/hostname.e1000g0 ABC123 netmask + broadcast + /etc/defaultrouter 192.168.0.1 And reboot. When you type $ getent hosts ABC123 you should see something like 192.168.0.181 ABC123 Otherwise you must fix this, before proceeding. B) Fix NWAM This is continuation from the section "OpenSolaris 2008.11 Installation/Configuration Instructions" where it talks about NWAM. For the NWAM part, I did not follow the guide. Instead I did like this to get NWAM: # svcadm disable network/physical:nwam # svcadm enable network/physical:default get rid of any DHCP definition: # pkill dhcpagent # rm /etc/dhcp.e1000g0 (if it exists) Then I continued with the guide: cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf svcadm enable dns/client svcadm restart dns/client etc. I followed the guide until the text ¨If you have access to Nevada packages and really want NSCM and RHA functionality..." I did not want NSCM and RHA so I skipped that part. (I dont even know what is is). Instead I rebooted and did this: C) Sun Ray Server 4.1 Topology Configuration Instructions Where I wrote # utadm -A 192.168.1.0 and answered NO to the question about starting the Solaris DHCP. I continued to follow the guide, until the text "At this point SRSS should be hot on OpenSolaris 2008.11!!!" where I rebooted and installation was complete. Then I just inserted a SunRay 2 into the router and the OpenSolaris login screen just showed up. ----------------------------------- Can someone confirm that I have not written anything wrong? I would like to submit this to the SunRay wiki, after proof reading. What are all these other SunRay software packages that I can download and what are their purpose? If I want to get a smooth Windows 7 virtualization, how is a good way to get that? As of now, I start VirtualBox and start Win7. The performance is not that good. Will srwc_2.2 help performance? What is it's purpose? Can VDI help me? Are there any more steps that are recommended? Like... upgrading firmware? What do you normally do with a new SRSS installation for a home user configuration? If I try these packages out, I can write down instructions on them too to submit them to the wiki. With your help, of course. _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
