This separate procedure is not needed if you install and update the firmware as part of a Sun Ray Software installation.
This procedure shows how to download and install the latest Sun
Ray Operating Software (firmware) on a Sun Ray server and update
the server's .parms
files with the new
firmware. Once the firmware server is updated, the Sun Ray Clients
using that firmware server will download and update the new
firmware on their next reboot.
This procedure is provided for Sun Ray servers that have been configured on a shared network (LAN) with external DHCP server support. For alternate network configuration, see the examples after the procedure.
If you need to enable the Configuration GUI on Sun Ray Clients once their firmware is updated, see Section 14.4, “How to Enable and Disable the Configuration GUI on All Sun Ray Clients”.
Download and unzip the latest Sun Ray Operating Software and make it accessible to the Sun Ray server.
See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sunrayproducts/downloads/index.html
Become superuser on the Sun Ray server.
Change directory to the unzipped firmware directory and install the firmware.
# ./utfwinstall
Make the firmware accessible to the Sun Ray Clients:
# utfwadm -AaV
This command is for a Sun Ray server configured on a shared
network (LAN) with external DHCP server support (used
utadm -L on
for network configuration). See
the examples following this procedure for alternate network
configurations.
Power-cycle the Sun Ray Clients to update to the new firmware.
You can also use the utfwload command to
force a firmware update on all Sun Ray Clients that have an
older firmware. The -l
option forces an
update on all clients connected to sessions with no user
logged in, and the -L
option forces an
update on all clients connected to sessions.
Repeat this procedure on each Sun Ray server in a failover group being used as a firmware server.
To update firmware versions for a specific client, use the
utfwadm -e
MAC_address
option.
Use the following utfwadm command examples for alternate network configurations:
On a shared network (LAN) with Sun Ray server DHCP support
(used utadm -A
for network
configuration)
subnet
# utfwadm -Aa -N all
On a private network (used utadm -a
for network
configuration):
intf
# utfwadm -Aa -n all
