Goal

How to install the SLConsole software package on a Solaris 10 server from a remote Windows desktop connection

Solution

To install the SLC(StorageTek Library Console) On a Solaris 10 server remotely, you should be able to redirect the GUI output to your desktop.

If you are connected to the Solaris server by means of a remote connection application like puTTY or ssh, running the command-line mode SLConsole_Solaris.bin installation command will generate a java error like this:

bash-3.00# ./SLConsole_Solaris.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

You can use Xming and PuTTY to workaround the error.

Step one:

Download URL:

Xming can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe

PuTTy can be downloaded from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Step Two:

Setup and config Xming & putty on your desktop, Reference URL:
http://www.geo.mtu.edu/geoschem/docs/putty_install.html

Step Three:

Configure ssh file on the Solaris server where SLC will be installed:

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. X11Forwarding change to [YES]

bash-3.2# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
.
.
.
# X11 tunneling options
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost yes
.
.
.

Step Four:

Run ./SLConsole_Solaris.bin again and follow the instructions just like when you are installing SLC on a Windows server.
