Set up the cygwin X server to install the Managing Server remotely
The problem: How to set up the cygwin X server to install the Managing Server remotely?
The solution: To install the Managing Server using a GUI on a remote Linux for System z server, you have to use the Visualization Engine. You are required to use a standard X Server on the remote client first. If you are using a Windows client, you can download and install the cygwin X Server package from the Internet.
- Once you have installed the cygwin server package, select Start > Run > Programs > cygwin-X > X-Win Server.
- Start the X Server here. You can see an X icon on the bottom right of the Windows task bar, which indicates the X Server is running.
- After the X Server runs, start the putty client and connect to the remote Linux for System z. If you are using X, you have to set the "X11" settings in the putty client, so that the X Server is connected to the Linux for System z server successfully. You can then use the standard launchpad.sh command-line shell script and start the GUI.
Do not set the DISPLAY variable when you start the putty client and log in to the server. Set this variable automatically.
