It depends where you are in the boot sequence whether the keyboard is allowed or not. If the DTU can't find the server, it's a brief window before the DTU resets and the boot sequence repeats.

I find the best work-around in this scenario is to remove the Ethernet cable, that will halt the boot sequence where you can get to the FW GUI if installed. Stop+V will work regardless of the firmware being the GUI or non-GUI version, but again, has to be hit in that window of time.

If the DTU no longer has the GUI FW installed, the most likely scenario is that the DTU was provided an option to upgrade to a later version and that version was the non-GUI.

Randy, what utadm and what utfwadm commands did you run on your Sun Ray Server? Do you only plan on using the GUI firmware to tell the DTU how to find the Sun Ray Server? Even if that is the case, I'd highly suggest using either the DNS name of sunray-config-servers.FQDN or option 66 in DHCP so the Sun Rays know where to grab the latest firmware from and you might be inclined to use the .parms files for the settings you are manually enter into the DTU so they can be managed centrally.

 From his description, it sounds like Stop v doesn’t work along with any
other keyboard combination.

Is it possible that somehow the FW was altered to the non-GUI version?
That would explain the symptoms.

If it’s not currently connecting to your SRS, you could configure
another Ethernet port on your SRS and hook the TC directly in via a
crossover cable and download the GUI FW that way.

Alternatively, you could configure DHCP option 49 on the TC subnet so it
automatically receives the IP of the SRS.

Hello, Anyone out here knock knock.. :) Anyone had this problem where
you can't access the GUI on the sunray 2 DTU via keyboard..

Do you have the GUI firmware on Sun Ray 2 DTU?.
What does Stop+V shows?.

Thanks

Note: These are my personal opinions, nothing to do with my employer

I can get it to reboot the DTU but any other command to gain access to
the GUI in the DTU don't work

its like the keyboard its not there but it kinda is if i can reboot the
DTU from it.

i have tryed several keyboards and to no luck why its not letting me in
the GUI in the DUT..

Its worked before now out of no where it quit.

and i can't get it to access the server cause i can't set any setting in
the DUT to make it connect to the server..

I have check every where and no no avale to find a fix for this..

Randy
