Additional Information |
This appendix provides additional information regarding your installation or upgrade to Sun Ray Server Software 4.1.
Topics covered in this appendix include:
Note - The Sun Management Center is not currently available for Linux implementations. |
Sun Ray Server Software includes a module for interfacing with Sun Management Center software. If Sun Ray Server Software and Sun Management Center software are to run on the same server, different procedures are used, depending on the order in which the software is installed. If Sun Ray Server Software and Sun Management Center server component are configured on separate servers, then the module must be installed on both servers. This section describes the installation procedures. For more detail on SunMC functionality, see Monitoring the Sun Ray System of the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 Administrator’s Guide.
If you are doing a clean installation of Sun Management Center software and Sun Ray Server Software on the same server, it is easier to install Sun Management Center software first.
When you install Sun Management Center software, you are given the option of installing any of the three components on the selected server. If you want to add only the agent to a Sun Ray server, just choose to add the agent component.
After the appropriate hardware configuration product is installed on the server, you can choose to run the setup now or later. When you run the setup, you are prompted for a host name of Sun Management Center server, a seed to generate security keys, a base URL for the console, and, if there is a conflict, a different port for the agent.
Tip - To monitor all the servers in a failover group, make sure every server runs Sun Ray Server Software 4.1. In addition, all servers must run the Sun Management Center agent component. |
Note - Administration of the SunMC software is documented in the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 Administrator’s Guide. |

If the Sun Management Center agent software is not running, the Sun Ray install script adds the Sun Ray module but does not start the Sun Management Center agent software.
To Install Sun Management Center Software After Installing Sun Ray Server Software |
1. Use the standard Sun Ray installation script:
The Sun Ray module for SunMC is installed automatically on the server when utinstall installs Sun Ray Server Software.
2. Follow the installation instructions found in the Sun Management Center Software Installation Guide to install the Sun Management Center software.
3. Type the following to enable Sun Ray monitoring:
4. Start the Sun Management Center software:
Check to see if Sun Management Center works. If not, reinstall the Sun Management Center software.
1. Verify that the Sun Management Center agent, SUNWesagt, is installed on the Sun Ray server:
2. Perform a standard installation of Sun Ray Server Software:
If the Sun Management Center agent is running, the installation process stops and restarts the SunMC software.
3. Install the Sun Ray interface package on the Sun Management Center server:
If you have already mounted the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 CD-ROM on the SunMC server or from a remote server, or if you have extracted the ESD files to an image directory, begin at Step c.
a. As superuser, open a shell window on the SunMC server.
b. Insert the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 CD-ROM
If a File Manager window opens, close it. The File Manger CD-ROM window is not necessary for installation.
c. Change to the image directory. For example:

2. Insert the Sun Ray Server Software 4.1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
If a file manager window opens, close it. The file manager CD-ROM window is not necessary for installation.
3. Share the Sun Ray CD-ROM file system:
4. Use the rlogin command to log into the Sun Ray server as the root user:
Where sunray-server-name is the host name of the Sun Ray server.
Tip - If you receive an error that you are not on the system console, comment out the line CONSOLE=/dev/console in the /etc/default/login file on the Sun Ray server. |
5. Create the CD-ROM file system mount point:
6. Mount the remote CD-ROM drive:
Where cd-server-name is the host name of the server with the Sun Ray CD-ROM.
7. Return to the point where you referenced this procedure.
