Re: Xwindows on an HMC

Where do you do the "xhost +" at? Can't open an xterm on the HMC and fire that off. Can't do it in the ascii/text login
(CTRL-ALT-F1) since you don't have a DISPLAY there.

I just tried creating an "/etc/X0.hosts" file with a "+" or a specific remote system name. Then I rebooted the HMC, but that did not
take either.

(Of course I am on a old HMC version/release 3.1.2, so that may be an issue?)

As long as you are not going across the serial - yes.

Just set the display to <HMC IP ADDRESS:0.0> and run the XTERM on the LPAR.
You might have to 'xhost', but I've done it.

Is it possible to bring up X windows from an Lpar on an HMC?
