no X window server running

I can not get an X window server running on my sunrays. Sorry I am new to using SunRays. I installed SunRay Server 3.1 and it seemed to install with no problems. I then configured using ./utadm -A not a problem [I am using a LAN configuration I set up the DHCP server ], then ./utconfig I let it configure my web server and enabled remote admin. I did not enable Controlled Access Mode [don't need it].

The Web Admin GUI works. Now when I start my first SunRay 170, it undated the firmware [I could see the OSD icon]. But no X server is started?

I looked up the OSD icons and numeric icon code. I get the Ethernet Address and assigned IP address [looks correct], I get the Auhtentication server IP address [looks correct]. I get an hour glass with 100 F [this means full duplex] and the numeric icon code at the right bottom is 26 D which means: 26The Sun Ray has connected to the server and is waiting for graphics traffic (this is the GNC state). and D DHCP provided all expected parameters. I looked up this problem on the Admin Guide and it says its the "Wait for Session OSD". the fix is to cp Xservers and Xconfig from usr/dt/config to /etc/dt/config but this does not work. Also the Install guide mentions [page 45] a possible corruption problem. I never had any diff between these files, so I do not know how entries to /etc/dt/config/Xserver are made? I think this might be the problem but I do not know what to do next. The Install guide also mentions that when you replace them Xserver and Xconfig extra lines are automatically rebuilt? from where and how do you force them to do so.

Just in case i am running intel Solaris 10 on a sunfire v20z

Thanks in advance

Interesting I just looked at my logs using the sun ray web admin and I got this:

Aug 28 16:20:22 myserver utauthd: [ID 189518 user.info] WatchIO UNEXPECTED: Connection from 192.168.1.28 is not allowed

Aug 28 16:20:22 myserver utauthd: [ID 993873 user.info] WatchIO UNEXPECTED: 192.168.1.28 protocolError: networkNotAllowed

Aug 28 16:20:22 myserver utauthd: [ID 303596 user.info] WatchIO UNEXPECTED: WatchIO.doRemove(null)

Where myserver is the server I am working with and 192.168.1.28 is one of the DHCP addresses. So it looks like maybe there is something else worng?

thanks in advance.

Looks like your 'utadm -A <subnet>' did not succeed or you forgot to restart SRSS afterwards to get it to pick up the modified configuration. Do '/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart' and see if that helps. If it doesn't then run '/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -l' and post the output here.

Thanks Otto

I have tried this a few times, and done a utrestart. the utadm -l listing looks correct.

/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -l

LAN connections: On

Subnetwork: 192.168.1.0

Netmask=255.255.255.0

Broadcast=192.168.1.255

Router= 192.168.1.1

AuthSrvr=192.168.1.3

AltAuth=192.168.1.3

FirmwareSrvr=192.168.1.3

NewTver=3.1_32,REV=2005.08.24.08.55

IP assignment= 1/3 (192.168.1.27)

I have even changed it once so that the router addres was the same as the authentication server but that did not do anything.

I am wondering if something else need to be setup, these errors look like authorization errors, so something is not allowing it to connect.

I am setting up only 3 Sun Rays with no card readers, maybe I need to set something up via the web admin?

I can start over if need be, how do I get rid of Sun Ray Server 3.1 cleanly to do a re-installation?

Thanks again

I have gone ahead and unistalled I ran ./utinstall -u and the program uninstalled but I figure it did not uninstall everything [go figure].

I again reinstalled and checked the log file everything said it installed successfully. I ran ./utadm -A subnet# then ./utrestart then ./utconfig, sync sync init 6.

I think at this point it has messed something up with the web admin bit, or did not uninstall its previous configuration. I still get the Wait for Session OSD, but in the web admin I can not edit the policy it says an error has occured and I can not restart it either [I could before]. This does take me to the next question because it is setting a group policy somewhere:

utpolicy: [ID 702911 user.info] # Reading policy file: /etc/opt/SUNWut/policy/utpolicy # Current Policy: /opt/SUNWut/lib/utgenpolicy -a -g -z both

I want Access All Users to be set this is just one Sun Ray server not belonging to a group and I do not have any card readers [another annoying thing that loads why?]. Does anyone know how to use command line utpolicy to set up all user access? maybe this is the problem?

I have also downloaded the new Sun Ray Software 4 which is really just Sun Ray 3.1 [kind of pissed off about this], but does have Sun Desktop Manager. I do not know what this is but does anyone think it might give me more control in accepting or authenticating sun ray clients? I now think it is an authentication problem [from my previous errors] and might be something to do with the default policy [from these new errors].

I will again uninstall this software and try it again. If anyone knows how to uninstall this cleanly [better than ./utinstall -u ] or knows of better software for unix terminals than sun ray please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
