Here’s my quick notes on getting SRSS 4, Beta Update 2<\/a> (the latest) running on Centos 4.4.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Install tomcat5<\/h4>\n

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<\/span><\/a>. 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<\/span><\/a>. The examples are for i586, so in lots of places you have to substitute the right architecture (x86_64) in place of i586.<\/p>\n

It was pretty hairy, but it did seem to work. Who knows if it is REALLY<\/strong> working, but \/sbin\/service tomcat5 start didn’t complain when I ran it.<\/p>\n

Install the right version of java<\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Install SRSS<\/h4>\n

So next, I googled around for a howto of SRSS on CentOS 4.4. This one<\/span><\/a> seemed promising.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n
Get the admin GUI working<\/h4>\n
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:<\/p>\n
