SUMMARY: How to configure Sun Ray clients with old firmware?

Hello,

Many thanks to all who responded to my newbie Sun Ray config question!

-Mike

Original question (paraphrased):

How can I get older Sun Ray 1 and 150 clients to upgrade their firmware? What
is a dedicated interconnect and how do I set one up?

Summary:

A dedicated interconnect is a network segment that is not connected
to anything other than the Sun Ray server and Sun Ray clients, and
has no routing other than to the Sun Ray server.

I did wind up uninstalling SRSS and reinstalling it -- until I did
that, no amount of invocation of utadm would get the dedicated
interconnect to work properly. After I reinstalled, all of my clients
were able to get the new firmware and things are working great now.

- Dedicated interconnect means a private network structure

- In a configuration where the Sun Ray server has two NICs,
one NIC would need to be connected to a switch or hub that
has no route to the outside world and the only other devices
attached to this network segment are Sun Ray clients

We can setup you existing Sunray Server to act as
Firmware server also.
Please note down your current version of the SunRay
DTU F/W using the (STOP+S) key on DTU.

Required:
1.     one dedicated n/w for the firmware server interface
on your U-80 (I am taking hme0)
2.     SunRay F/W to be downloaded and put in
/var/tmp/firmware.

Steps:

1.     utadm -a hme0 (See below for the detail output)
2. utfwadm -A -
f /var/tmp/firmware/opt/SUNWut/lib/firmware -a -n hme0
3.     Connect your SunRay DTU to this hme0 interface thru
a cross cable or some HUB and just power ON,
you will see the SunRay DTU connect to DCHP server
running on U-80 ,do a f/w upgrade and then reboot.

Configuration:

1.     utadm -a hme0

Start over:
- remove SRSS
- read chapter 6 of the install guide
- get another switch, plug in the 150s and connect qfe0
of the server to this switch
- install SRSS
- reboot
- read chapter 7 of the install guide
- cd /opt/SUNWut/sbin
- ./utadm -a qfe0
- take all the defaults
- reboot
- turn on the Sun Ray 150s
- they should upgrade the firmware
- the reference guide describes the new icons
