Sunray setup

how to build a SRSS 4 Posted on 2008/02/25 by Eric

http://blogs.sun.com/acworkma/entry/how_to_build_a_sun

Quick and dirty about how to get a Sun Ray server up and running for a proof of concept. Please note that while this will get things up and running, there are many items outside of the scope of this document that need to be taken into consideration for a full production enterprise deployment.

Get the goods The first step is to have an available server to install on. You will need a Solaris 10, Redhat or SUSE server. The directions here will be for installing on Solaris 10. Next you will need to download the software.

Install the Sun Ray Server Software The follow steps need to be executed as the root user of the system.

Extract the Zip:

1. unzip srss_4.0_solaris.zip

Install Tomcat:

1. cd srss_4.0/Supplemental/Apache_Tomcat/
2. gzcat apache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar.gz | /usr/sfw/bin/gtar -xf -
3. mv apache-tomcat-5.5.20 /opt/
4. ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/ /opt/apache-tomcat

Install Sun Ray Server Software:

1. cd srss_4.0
2. ./utinstall

Take all of the defaults

1. reboot

Configure the Sun Ray Server Software:

1. /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utconfig

Take all of the defaults except for: Enable remote server administration? (y/[n])? y Configure Sun Ray Kiosk Mode? (y/[n])? y

1. reboot

Configure Parms files:

1. mkdir /tftpboot
2. vi /tftpboot/srssconfig

The file should look like the following: servers=

1. /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwadm -A -a -V -i /tftpboot/srssconfig -f /opt/SUNWut/lib/firmware_gui

Turn on LAN connections:

1. /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -L on
2. /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c

At this point you have a basic Sun Ray server up and running. Any Sun Rays on the network should be displaying the Solaris log in and you should be able to log into your Solaris server through a Sun Ray.

Windows Terminal Server: One of the powerful things about the Sun Ray solution is how flexible it is. One of the things the Sun Ray solutions is really good at is displaying Windows Desktops. The following steps address how to modify your existing Sun Ray server to display windows desktops.

Install Windows connector:

Extract the Zip:

1. unzip srwc_2.0_solaris.zip

Install the Connector: NOTE: There is a version mismatch if you are installing on Nevada instead of Solaris 10. ONLY TAKE THE FOLLOWING 2 STEPS IF YOU are ON Nevada:

1. cd /usr/sfw/lib
2. ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.7

create a group for it

1. groupadd utsrwc
2. cd srwc_2.0
3. ./installer
4. /opt/SUNWuttsc/sbin/uttscadm -c
5. /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c

Configure Kiosk Mode: We will use the web interface for the Sun Ray server to configure the Sun Ray server to present windows desktops.

Log into your web admin port http://:1660 The username is admin and the password is the one you gave it during set up.

Click on the advanced tab:

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-1

Then on the Kiosk Sub tab:

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-2

You will see a message about no Kiosk Mode settings. Click the edit button on the right:

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-3

Change the session drop down to Sun Ray Connectors for Windows OS In the arguments field add the name of your terminal server click on OK

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-4

At this point you will have a kiosk mode defined and then you will need to tell the server when to use it. I personally run my demo’s with the window connector enabled for card sessions and the Solaris session displayed for non card users. This is accomplished by using the the System Policy to turn Kiosk Mode on for card users. Click on the System Policy Sub Tab on the Advanced Menu and then click on the enabled check box for Kiosk Mode under card users. Then click on the save button.

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-5

At this point you will get a message saying the changes have been stored and you need to restart the server. Click on the link to switch to the servers tab.

Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-6

Select your server and click on cold restart Loghost - Sun Ray Administration-7

When the Sun Ray server restarts, you will now display a Solaris desktop with no card inserted, and a windows desktop with a card inserted.

Well thanks to your assistance this was really easy. For those who are interested this is what I did to get testing the new 'Sun Ray Connector for Windows'

First prepare Windows XP (Professional in this case)

1) Create a new (non-adminstrator) user for your testing purposes (or identify an existing non-administrator user)

2) Go to 'Control Panel' and select 'System' then click on the 'Remote' tab

3) Under 'Remote Desktop' click the box to 'Allow users to connect remotely to this computer'

4) Next click on the button 'Select Remote Users'

5) Click 'Add'... click 'Advanced'... click 'Find Now' and add your newly created user.

6) Get the IP address of your Windows machine

Next install the 'Sun Ray Connector for Windows' on your Sun Ray server (mine is Sol10U1 on x64 with SRSS3.1)

1) Download from http://www.sun.com/software/products/sr_connector/index.xml

2) Follow the installer instructions (which are not much more than ./installer and a utrestart plus possibly a patch)

3) Fire up /opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc <windows IP address>

4) Enjoy ;-)

Well done to the Sun engineers, it works a treat!

For others looking at the same issue:

We hashed this issue out off-list, using
configure CC='gcc -m64'

works, just
configure CFLAGS=-m64

ln -s /usr/bin/libtool .

For some packages, you seem to also run into trouble where libtool can't figure out what you're doing:

   $ libtool --mode=compile target-gcc -g -O2 -c foo.c
   libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
   libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

OK, so it couldn't figure out that we're compiling C code. No problem, just add the tag --tag=CC. Works when we compile:

  * [[16][Compiling HandBrake on OpenSolaris]]
  * [[17][Compiling Handbrake CLI on Nexenta]]
  * [[18][Compiling and installing ffmpeg on Solaris]]

make install fails with strange "cycle detected" errors from find and a "libavdevice.a was not found anywhere!"

   * This is because it is trying to use /usr/sbin/install which appears to be broken, or at least incompatible with GNU install.
   * Solve this by symlinking /usr/bin/ginstall to /use/bin/install (if /usr/bin is before /usr/sbin in the PATH). Essentially, get it to use ginstall instead and it works dandy. 

To install linux guest additions on Ubuntu, you need to add:

sudo apt-get install dkms

before hand.

to manually build the vb module:

/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
