some questions (ha cluster / switching sessions / 1 session->many clients)
* is it possible to run a sun-ray-server on a sun-cluster-server to provide real HA (not just a failover-group)?
* using smartcard-based hot-desking (mobile sessions). is it possible to switch the session from one smartcard to another (in case a smartcard is lost)?
* is it possible to (at least) view a session of another user like provided by vnc (1 session on the server and more then one client)?

What do you mean by HA? If you're asking whether a user's login session can survive the death of the node it's executing on then the answer is no. If the node dies, the session dies too.

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utuser -a -i ...
should let you do that.

Sun Ray does not provide a built-in way of doing that. You might be able to do it by using x11vnc or Vino, just as for any other X session.

HA: yes, i ment the surviving of a login-session of a died node.
a pitty that that is not implemented. is it technically impossible to have such a HA Xserver?
switch smartcard: thank you for info.
1 session, many clients: ok. we are using vnc for that at the moment. works ok, but the speed would be much better when the sunray server would support it directly.
