There might be issues with the DHCP server on Solaris 11 at this point.
If you have only a few Sun Rays, your best bet might be power them up, and when
they've connected run 'utfwload -L' which will upgrade them all.
If you have control over a DNS server, then setting "sunray-config-servers" to
point to your server will make this automatic. Or if you can configure DHCP option 66
(TFTP server name) with the address of your server that would also work well. Just use
the first form of utfwadm (the one I sent you), don't bother with the '-N all' option,
which uses DHCP.
Or you could add "-G force" to the first utfwadm command I gave you, which
would load GUI firmware, and then you could use the firmware GUI on each Sun Ray to
configure the firmware server going forward. But in this case you still have to bootstrap
the firmware load the first time somehow, which 'utfwload -L' will do.

All the units served by "frasse" on the 192.168.1.0
network interface, running firmware other than version
"4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07" will be upgraded at their next power-on.

How do I configure Firmware server?
You seems to be already having a firmware server but that's configured
to serve
4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07 firmware as the NewTVer shows in the below utquery
output.
After upgrading SRS one supposed to run utfwadm to get the latest firmware
upgrade to the DTUs.
In your case, you need to run utfwadm -A -a -N all -f /opt/SUNWut/lib/firmware

Note: These are my personal opinions, nothing to do with my employer
When I recently installed the v5.2 it
upgraded to this buggy firmware without configuring a Firmware server.
I installed according to my earlier instructions and this was all I did:
http://www.filibeto.org/pipermail/sunray-users/2011-June/017825.html
I did no configuration of Firmware server, but still I could upgrade to the
buggy firmware successfully. So, there is no need to configure a Firmware
server? So what could be the problem?
Is there no one out there besides me, that are using S11E?

What does utquery IP say for one of these DTUs that is not upgrading?
My guess is that your Firmware Server is not configured for them.

I reboot sunray 2 DTU, and I see the old firmware:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwload
11.0 gdm 192.168.1.2 P8.00144f946b02 4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07
Ergo, there is no automatic upgrade of the SunRay2 DTU. So I try to force
update
of firmware by command:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwsync
Stopping Authentication Managers on frasse ...
Will restart Authentication Managers in 50 seconds
Restarting Authentication Managers ...
Still no success, it is the same old firmware. So I reboot the server, and do
utfwsync again. And still no success. It is the same old firmware. Then I
tried
# ./utfwadm -A -e 00144f946b02
Unit "00144F946B02" will be upgraded at its next power-on
if it is served by host "frasse" and is connected to
the network and is not already running firmware
version "4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07".
### stopped DHCP daemon
### started DHCP daemon

And still no success because it want to keep the same old firmware. So now
what?
But it feels like I am almost there. Soon... :o)

In this case it's easy, since the only update is new firmware.
So just unpack the install image, cd to the top, and (assuming you're just
using
.parms files) do:
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwadm -A -a -V -f
Components/10-SRSS/Patches/solaris/sparc/146928-01/SUNWutfw/reloc/SUNWut/lib/firmware

If you have some more complex utadm configuration then you'll have to
extrapolate, but that's the path you want to the firmware.
Note the path specifies "sparc", but it's irrelevant in this case. The
firmware
doesn't depend on the server architecture, and is therefore identical for all
platforms.

Ok, so does anyone has some pointers? How to do this on S11E? I am willing
to
experiment and post upgrade instructions here with some help from people.

And, how are you supposed to upgrade to the newest v5.2.1? I tried to
"utinstall" on my v5.2 but that did not work. There were error messages.

I dont understand. I downloaded the SRS package anew and tried to update to
newest version. I did as it says in the manual: "utsetup" but it did not
work.
There were some errors. So I backed to a fresh BE and reinstalled everything
from scratch (gtar apache-tomcat etc etc etc).
But now I can not upgrade the firmware. As Jenz Langner wrote:
"after having installed that update I can report that the included firmware
4.3_146928-01_2011.06.03.14.41 indeed solves the slow screen update and
stalling
problem which was previously reported here. So everyone is suggested to
update
their firmwares to that one. best regards, jens"
But I have the same old firmware: "4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07", the firmware
has
not been upgraded to the version that Jenz talks about above:
"4.3_146928-01_2011.06.03.14.41". What can be wrong? See below:
# utrelease
Sun Ray Software 5.2.1
# utfwsync
Stopping Authentication Managers on frasse ...
Will restart Authentication Managers in 5 seconds
Restarting Authentication Managers ...
# utfwadm -A -e 00144f946b02
Unit "00144F946B02" will be upgraded at its next power-on
if it is served by host "frasse" and is connected to
the network and is not already running firmware
version "4.3_50_2011.04.22.22.07".
