I am trying to install Sunray Server Software v5.4 on a fresh install of Solaris 11.3, but I fail. Where can I get help with this? I have followed the manual but it doesnt work. I suspect the error is very easy, just a matter of issuing the correct command, but I dont know how. So I need to ask someone with Sunray knowledge, anyone know a webpage with Sunray guys? The old Sunray mail list is killed off.
What did you try... What didn't work? Any error messages? Is your Solaris installation patched to the latest release? Which documentation did you use? At which point in the manual it doesn't work?
If you want answers, you should explain in more detail (as detailed as possible!!!) where the problems are!

Sure I can explain, but I guessed that SunRay knowledge is a bit obscure and can not be easily found, I need to go a specialized web forum. The old sunray mail list is dead, and I have tried this for four days so I am a bit tired on no progress. I dont know even where to start. Any pointers to where I can dig further would be much appreciated. I suspect the problem is very easy, and just a matter of issuing the right command, but I dont know where the problem is, or how to start debug.
Anyway, I have a fresh Solaris 11.3 installation and the SunRay Server Software v5.4. I am a home user with x86 PC, it has IP 192.168.1.2 and my router has IP 192.168.1.1. I have executed on my Solaris 11.3 PC this command: pkg update --accept and I also installed some other IPS packages, such as Wine, VLC, etc (from SFE website).
According to Oracle manual, these prerequisites must be met:
3.1*Product Requirements
so I did only execute utpkgcheck -i which installed some IPS packages. I did not bother with optimizations of user desktop experience.
According to the Oracle manual installation of SRSS requires
3.2.*Installing
that I must have static IP and fixed host name.
So I followed this guide to get static IP:
and also had to add as the very last step:
# svcadm refresh name-service/switch
and now I can surf the web. Also we see:
# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
net1/testingStatic static ok 192.168.1.2/24

# ifconfig -a

net1: flags=100001000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,PHYSRUNNING> mtu 1500 index 2

inet6 ::/0
ether 0:25:90:d7:f8:a3
To get fixed host name, I added to /etc/hosts
192.168.1.2 fjolla
And now I continued with the Oracle manual and installed SRSS with
#utsetup
I choose default values on every question, except that I installed Web GUI to administer SRSS. So I had to install apache too. But everything default.
And now, installation completed it does not work. I see on the Sunray DTU screen a picture of DTU searching for the server and "27B".
I can query the SunRay DTU:
# ./utquery 192.168.1.7
terminalID=0021287e85eb
terminalIPA=192.168.1.7
model=SunRayP9
currentAuth=5.0.0.0
currentFW=GUI4.2_140993-03_2010.06.21.19.00
currentBarrier=421
currentBarrierLevel=421
currentMTU=1500
Subnet=255.255.255.0
Router=192.168.1.1
LeaseTim=86400
DHCPServer=192.168.1.1
INFORMServer=192.168.1.1
FWservType=none
speed=1000F
configMTU=1500
dnsList=192.168.1.1
confNetType=DHCP
conf.fulldup=1
stopqon=0
bandwidth=1000000000
poweroff=30
I suspect the currentAuth field should say "192.168.1.2"? How to fix that?
When I try to go to the web gui with my web browser:
http://192.168.1.2:1660
the web page turns white and blank. Nothing is seen.
I have tried lot of commands, utadm -A 192.168.1.2 , utadm -L on , etc etc etc but everything is a mess now so I rolled back with BE. BE is a killer feature!!! 
So, I am lost now and dont know how to continue. Any suggestions? Can I show the output of some commands, the status of the server?

Nope, I did not fix it. I dont know how to fix it. After googling, I tried this to fix (it seems SMF is the way to go now?):

But still no beef.
Do you have a firewall running in your network? From what you wrote, the installation itself went flawless and the sunray server is working... But still you can't connect to the server from a client...
I dont think a firewall is the problem. I have asked on another forum, but if anyone here knows, feel free to chime in.
Note this in your utquery output:
DHCPServer=192.168.1.1
Yet your SunRay server's IP address is apparently 192.168.1.2.
Is your DHCP server set up to provide the required parameters to the SunRay terminal?
