6.8.1. How to Take a Server Offline and Online

Being able to take servers offline makes maintenance easier. In an offline state, no new sessions are created. However, old sessions continue to exist and can be reactivated unless the Sun Ray Software is affected.

Take a server offline:
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -f
```

Take a server online:
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -n
```

6.8.2. How to Disable Load Balancing

In the auth.props file, set enableLoadBalancing to false.

6.8.3. How to Show the Current Sun Ray Data Store Replication Configuration

# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utreplica -l

The result indicates whether the server is stand-alone, primary (with the secondary host names), or secondary (with the primary host name).

6.8.4. How to Remove the Replication Configuration

# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utreplica -u

6.8.5. How to View the Failover Group Status

Note

Sun Ray server broadcasts do not traverse routers or servers other than Sun Ray servers.

Command-Line Steps

View the failover group status for the local Sun Ray server:
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utgstatus
```

Admin GUI Steps

Click the Servers tab.
Select a server name to display its Server Details screen.
Click View Network Status.
The Network Status screen is displayed.
The Network Status screen provides information on group membership and network connectivity for trusted servers, which are those servers in the same failover group.
