Behind The Console

SUN Ray2 arrived

The Sun Ray2 arrived and I was able to connect it with a DVI to VGA and a VGA to HDMI adapter. So my HDMI capture device was able to use Orion on an iPad as a portable screen.

Sun Ray2 setup

After plugin in keyboard, mouse, adapters, Ethernet and Power I saw the following boot screen.

@behindtheconsole According to the size, that's a 2FS with a fiber connector, right? A common SunRay 2 with copper ethernet only has less depth.

@behindtheconsole Rumors say, developed for US government, because temper proof. And in combination with Trusted Solaris you also had hierarchical security. And labeled/tagged network packets. Very interesting concepts for the time.

@stiefkind And I'm currently playing with tagged Ethernet and proxmox to get an OpenIndiana setup as the SRSS... wish me luck.
