Is there some reason you are following the OS2008.11 instructions
instead of the OS2009.06 instructions on the Wiki? Surely you are not
running OS2008.11 at this point in time, are you???
I really don't understand how your A and B sections are different from
what is written on the Wiki page if you follow the recommended "Turn off
NWAM" link. What you are doing in A is simply disabling NWAM as
documented. You must have a static address for your server, and that's
what disabling NWAM does. That section needs to be clearer. I'll be
updating a new page shortly with much simpler instructions.
As for C, "NO" is the default, so if you just follow the defaults you're
fine.
So, I'm sorry you had a hard time, but I don't see how this information
really adds to what's there already...
Wait a bit for my updated page, and let me know if you think there still
needs to be any clarification. Personally I'd rather see a single, clear
page of information than several caveats and updates because that's
confusing to follow.

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.
