two sun ray servers
imcsk8
rays.
i want to connect only two sun rays to one server and the rest to the
other server. is there a way to restrict the access of a sun ray
appliance to the sun ray server so the server reject the hardware
addresses of the appliances that i don't want to be connected to it?
this is because sometimes the sun ray connects to one server and
sometimes to the other and i want specific connections between the sun
rays and the servers
thanks for your help

Well, you could run it like it was designed.
place the sunrays on dedicated physical networks.

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week.
Time to die.

Barbie is right,
Though, even if you register two thin clients to one particular
server, the other server will still see the thin client and might try
to sign an IP to it via DHCP, which would cause a collision on the
network.
This is why it connects to one server, and latter to the other.
It's not common to see two DHCP servers signing addresses to thin
clients on one single network.

I've hacked the SunRay 1.3 distribution so that it in my environment does sort of what
you want. Basically it consists of:
1. A NIS map "sunray" looking like this:
pseudo.0003ba0b5240 login basovium.ifm.liu.se # Basov
pseudo.0003ba0b551d kiosk starbase.ifm.liu.se # Main entrance
pseudo.0003ba0b95ed login tanto.ifm.liu.se # Some User
pseudo.0003ba0b96ba login basovium.ifm.liu.se # Basov
....
This map controls the default binding of a non-smartcard SunRay session
based on the terminal ID (ethernet address) to which SunRay server
it should be attached by default and also what type of session should
be started by default (login = normal CDE login, kiosk = Kiosk mode Netscape
used for public information terminals).
2. Some modifications to the SunRay 1.3 startup scripts so that it looks
in the NIS map and then uses "utswitch" to redirect the SunRay terminal
to the right server if it was attached to the wrong one by the load balancing
code.
3. Some more modifications to use the right startup scripts based on the login/kiosk
keyword.
You can find my modifications at:
ftp://ftp.ifm.liu.se/pub/unix/sunray
I hope to be able to port my modifications to SunRay 2.0 real soon now (gonna need it
this autumn :-)

PUT THEM ON SEPARATE NETWORKS.
