11.3. How to Update Firmware Versions on Sun Ray Clients

This procedure updates a firmware server's .parms files with the latest firmware for the Sun Ray Clients to download and install on their next reboot.

If you need to enable the Configuration GUI, see Section 11.4, “How to Enable and Disable the Configuration GUI on All Sun Ray Clients”.

  1. Become superuser on the Sun Ray server.

  2. Update the firmware based on a shared network (LAN) with external DHCP server support (used utadm -L on for network configuration):

    # utfwadm -AaV
  3. Power-cycle the clients to load the new firmware.

  4. Repeat this procedure on each Sun Ray server in a failover group.

Note

To update firmware versions for a specific client, use the -e MAC_address option.

11.3.1. Alternate Network Configuration Examples

Use the following utfwadm command examples for alternate network configurations:

  • On a shared network (LAN) with Sun Ray server DHCP support (used utadm -A subnet for network configuration)

    # utfwadm -Aa -N all
  • On a private network (used utadm -a intf for network configuration):

    # utfwadm -Aa -n all
