Not sure if this was the original issue, but it is also possible that DNS
was giving it the 66.22.x.x IP.  In my experience, many DNS servers have
"DNS assistance" enabled, especially home ISPs, that redirect you to a
search page when a DNS lookup to a nonexistent address is performed.  The
Sun Ray looks for sunray-config-servers et al. and can trigger this
functionality.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Sunray 2fs reset to factory

 

I did setup an interconnect. I ran the command utfwadm -Aa -N all -G force
to enable the GUI firmware to be pushed out. I can now open the Gui on the
2FS.

I also learned you can push out the Sunray server ip in DHCP specifically
with Option 49 in the DHCP scope. 

None the less putting it on a private interconnect and pushing out a GUI
firmware with utfwadm worked 100% thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Could you please answer the question about the current version of firmware?
If you setup a private interconnect, then it should be handing out firmware.
By default it will be the non-gui version.  But if the unit has firmware
that is newer than what you have, you'll have to follow the steps in the
admin guide to downgrade the firmware.  The commands are also in the admin
guide to tell the client to use the GUI version of the firmware.

I set them on a priv interconnect and via DHCP was able to point them to
a test Sunray server. How would I go about pushing a GUI firmware out so
that I can enable the menu on the thin client itself?

The reason for going through this is I will not be able to have a
private interconnect for these I will need to manually configure each
unit to point at a different subnet for their server.

       If you setup a private interconnect and use a small hub or crossover
       cable, you can put any firmware on there since the Sun Ray
       Server will
       control the DHCP and use vendor class tags.


   @Jeremy: It is possible that the DTU not only connected to a specific
   SRSS server, but also had static IP configuration, in its previous
   life. In this case it might be useful to try and determine that
   addressing (i.e. by sniffing on the private interconnect - which
   itself is the way I'd go too), and also set the target server's
   IP address 66.22.xx.xx on your server's interconnect interface.

   Craig, is it possible that a GUI firmware was installed, set up via
   menu, and then a non-GUI firmware was installed - but the settings
   saved into Flash remain in force? I guess in this case there would
   be no way to override that setting except by reflashing the firmware
   using the interconnect, as you suggested first :)

   HTH,
