I got this confirmed by support ... You appear to be hitting a new SRS 5.2 bug - 12578874 Synopsis: SLOW DISPLAY REFRESH/REDRAW HAPPENS AFTER UPGRADE TO SRS 5.2 Engineering is involved. The workaround is to use the firmware from your previous release provided it was 5.1.1 or 5.1.2.
So we both know what to do ... The potential HW Bug in the Sun Ray 3 concerns me also, as we have recently startet to rollout the first 3 ones here. Let me see, what I get for a feedback from the users here. regards, thomas -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Jens Langner Gesendet: Dienstag, 24.

Lets hope that this speeds up progress of engineering when fixing the issue. FW in 5.2 is really too slow to be practically usable. Here, we are running now SRS 5.2 with FW of SRS 5.1.2 in our production environment (two Solaris 10 systems) and everything seems to work smoothly now that we have the older FW running. However, our SR3 clients (not plus) are still suffering from regular hardware resets when receiving certain network traffic. But this issue is tracked under a different SR #3-2756461385 and is not related to the latest FW. To me this pretty much looks like a hardware bug in the SR3 as our SR3+ don't seem to have that problem. best regards, jens Am 24.05.11 16:29, schrieb Fuerle, Thomas: > no progress so far in my TAR, it's on Prio 2 and escalated it, refering also > your TAR 3-3673862291.
