Here’s my quick notes on getting SRSS 4, Beta Update 2 (the latest) running on Centos 4.4.
SRSS is supported on RHEL AS 4, Update 3, which should be very much like Centos 4.3. I tried first on Centos 5, but got nowhere, but the SRSS installer (utinstall) didn’t work. I couldn’t find a DVD iso of 4.3 and I’m lazy, so I tried on 4.4. Did an “everything” install, and then did a yum update to get the 1200 patches needed for this old distro.
Install tomcat5
SRSS needs tomcat installed. No yum packages for CentOS 4.3, boo. Followed the instructions at https://www.tummy.com/Community/Articles/tomcat-centos/tomcat5.html. This appears to rebuild certain pre-installed rpm’s with the right versions to get tomcat to install. On my server, an x4200 (x86_64 AMD), you need to get the jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-amd64.bin file from somwehere. I googled around and got it here. The examples are for i586, so in lots of places you have to substitute the right architecture (x86_64) in place of i586.
It was pretty hairy, but it did seem to work. Who knows if it is REALLY working, but /sbin/service tomcat5 start didn’t complain when I ran it.
Install the right version of java
The install docs say Java 1.5 or better. CentOS 4.4 comes with 1.4. However, whatever I did with all the crazy rpm building stuff above magically updated the version. Yay. However the utinstall SRSS installer needs to know where the java is installed, and I don’t have a clue. The manual also says explicitly to use the 32 bit version. I’m pretty sure I installed a 64 bit server version. The SRSS zip file comes with a 32 bit jre1.5.0_11 installer in srss_4.0/Supplemental/Java_Runtime_Environment/Linux. I installed it in /usr/share.
Install SRSS
So next, I googled around for a howto of SRSS on CentOS 4.4. This one seemed promising.
Downloaded SRSS from Sun into /tmp. Unzipped them. Cd’d into srss_4.0. Started utinstall. Told it where the java was (see above, /usr/share/jre1.5.0_11). utinstall ran without apparent complaint!

Restarted the box. Did the shared subnet config for my subnet, assigned a few ip’s to DHCP for the Sun Rays. Restarted the box. Connected a Sun Ray and success!
Get the admin GUI working
The manual talks a lot about the admin gui. It didn’t seem to be running. Read the install guide, didn’t see anything obvious. Googled a bit, hits said to run utconfig, which I don’t think was obviously in the manual. I did, like so:
[root@csl3 SUNWut]# utconfig Configuration of Sun Ray Core Services Software This script automates the configuration of the Sun Ray Core Services software and related software products. Before proceeding, you should have read the Sun Ray Core Services 4.0 Installation Guide and filled out the Configuration Worksheet.

I then did a cold restart (utrestart –c). I could then get to localhost:1660 and localhost:1661.
It seems to be working… Time to kick the tires some more. Stay posted.
