I did not know... Thanks. I noticed that with Sun studio as well. I
have it running on my oi upgraded from opensol box so I guess I will
have to make sure not to bork that machine.
Since 4.2 has been flawless I will probably just leave my srss alone. I
bought my seats from sun so I don't even want to ask oracle how much it
would cost now.

Thank you very much for the complete directions.
I never had a problem under any install of OpenSolaris that I can
recall, but under OI, it installed without errors but the Sun Rays
wouldn't come up. Your email suggests a couple reasons to me as to
why. I'll reinstall OI in the next week and try your instructions.
Thanks!
BTW, there's a newer version of SRSS, but like 4.2 it has not been
made to work with Solaris 11. Neither has any version of Sun Studio
for that matter, including the new beta. Oracle has made every release
of 11 a moving target, much more so than OpenSolaris under Sun ever was.
Once again, thank you very much,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
I am using the newest version of SRSS. I installed it on a
completely 'fresh' install of OI and followed the instructions at
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRS_5.1_on_Solaris_11_Express and
it worked perfectly.
I had already set my system up for a static ip. So I skipped the
first part. What error are you getting on the rays?

SRSS 4.2
First of all note that SRS 5 and SRS 5.1 both deliver SRSS 4.2. SRS
5.1 includes updates to SRSS 4.2 but they are in Solaris patch format
and Solaris 11 no longer recognizes that format, so you will not be
able to apply updates. You can choose to download/install SRSS from
SRS 5 or from SRS 5.1 and you will get the same result. The SRS 5.1
utinstall program will issue a harmless error at the end about its
inability to apply patches.
* Download SRSS from SRS 5 or SRS 5.1 and run utinstall (ignore
the error at the end of the 5.1 install). *No need to reboot at
this time!!!*
* work around a couple of bugs

* configure in the usual manner utilizing utadm and utconfig (and
optionally utfwadm and utreplica), then activate the software
(or reboot, and proceed to SRWC 2.3 instructions if desired):
/opt/SUNWut/lib/utctl enable
* Ignore the GDM restart error from utctl, and restart via SMF:
svcadm restart gdm
* If you do not intend to install SRWC, restart SRSS now:
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart -c
