tuning sun ray startup procedures
craig bender blogs on reducing sun ray server load by setting some simple values in the sun ray config. this results in faster startup times. here’s a quick abstract on what the sun ray engineering guys did:
- Increase Authd worker threads from 8 to 32
- Change utprodinfo to do an echo vs. a pkginfo
- Use non-invasive methods for finding the Sun Ray MAC address or other information from the data store
- Remove dtsession as a CAM application if not required
- Increase the initial and max heap size for Authd
how to do this? read craigs entry on the think thin blog. after all this shows us that sun ray engineering is no black magic. 
i can’t wait to try this out….
