SunRayQuestions

1.  Solaris Sun Ray Questions

This section offers a brief summary of frequent questions regarding the ECE/CIS Sun Ray computers running Solaris.

1.1  Using Removable Storage

It has been found that USB keys and other removable storage crash the Sun Ray - but only if plugged into the USB ports on the keyboard. Simply plug the removable storage into one of the ports on the back of the unit. After it is plugged in, Solaris will mount your drive automatically. Run df to get the mount point, and access your files from there.

1.2  Changing System Volume Settings

Run /opt/SUNWut/bin/utsettings and a configuration window will open allowing you to change the volume level along with other options such as bass, treble and balance. A volume level of 15 is the recommended setting.

I found some additional helpful information regarding Removable Storage on the SunRays...

Locate a removable drive: (after it has been automatically mounted)
Run /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -l at the terminal to get a list of all your mounted drives

> /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -l
Device     Partition     Mount Path
------     ---------     ----------
disk2      disk2p0
disk2      disk2p1       /tmp/SUNWut/mnt/charlieg/cruzer_0

Unmount a removable drive: (when you're done using it)
Run /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -r [device name]

> /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -r disk2
disk2 is ready for unplugging

Be sure to unmount a drive before removing it!
