When we use Sun Ray clients, we may wanna use the device which doesn't support Solaris. Even we're running the Mac OS, windows which is not supported by Sun Ray Server Software.

What Should We Do? VirtualBox can help us.

At first, we should download a copy of VirtualBox for our OS.

Second, download a copy of Solaris 10 which is supported by SRSS.
(Attention: the opensolaris doesn't support SRSS very well)

Let's begin, launch the VirtualBox and create one virtual machine. You should add one network card and set the networking Attached to: Host Interface and select the interface name at first.

Now, we can boot this virtual machine by Solaris DVD and install it.

After a long wait, we can login to the new Solairs in our virtual machine. We should check the network before install the SRSS.

At last, copy SRSS into virtual machine and unpack the Sun Ray software

  Run "utinstall"

  Then, configure the sun ray server:

    * /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -c
    * /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -A 192.168.128.0 # {allows you to server Sun Ray over this network }
    * /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -L on # {enable LAN connection from Sun Ray}
    * /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utadm -n # {bring server online}
    * /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utrestart

  Now connect your Sun Ray client to the network.

If you're already connected to another Sun Ray server, do this:

  /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utswitch -h "your VirtualHost's IP address"
 
Finally, we have running sun ray server on Windows XP successfully.
