Bjoern....how would you disable new connections to the secondary server? I don't think I've ever done this before...I didn't setup this FOG I inherited it from another sysadmin.

I have a 2 server FOG. Just looking for best practices. Depending on the amount of work to do (OS upgrades and other stuff) I decide if I want to do a fresh re-install and migrate all data (users, tokens, scripts) or migrate with a simple update. Upgrade the current DHCP server first or do the standby? I don't quite understan what this would habe to do with DHCP? Don't you have two active DHCP servers? You'll need to upgrade the secondary sun ray server first, then the primary. Also, if you want to be nice to your users, you disable new connections to the secondary server ahead of time so you don't kick users from the system. Also, is there a way to force all thin clients to upgrade right way after the upgrade (utfwadm command?), or will it require a physical power cycle of all Sun rays to pull the new firmware? You can use utfwload after utfwadm to force download of firmware to all clients. The only downside to that is that the update is not as "pretty" as the one during power cycle because there will be funky colors on the screen and everything else appears "stuck" which sometimes confuses users.
