Step-by-step guide to running Oracle Sun Ray Server Software 5.4.0.0 on OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10 inside a Proxmox VM, with fixes not in the official OI Handbook.
Key Takeaways
Proxmox VM requires q35/SeaBIOS, VirtIO Block disk, VirtIO NIC, VirtIO RNG, and vIOMMU enabled before booting the OI installer.
SRSS 5.4.5.0 for Solaris 11 i386 appears unavailable on Oracle eDelivery; 5.4.0.0 from archive.org is the practical fallback.
Three manual script patches are needed post-install: pkg list to pkg info -q, and two SUNWlldap to ldap substitutions in utconfig/utreplica.
JRE 6u41 and Apache Tomcat 5.5.36 ship inside the SRSS Supplemental directory; the OI Handbook omits Tomcat setup entirely.
Hotdesking (non-smartcard mobility) is unsupported on OI Hipster 2025.10 without an additional third-party package repo; utpolicy invocation differs from earlier guides.
