Hi All,
Thi is installation steps which I want to share with all of you. It is very interesting job!
Cheers!
INSTALLATION:
Insert the Solaris Companion CD and allow the volume management daemon to mount it. There are three
packages which are required. In this example, they are converted into package datastreams on the hard disk:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/sparc/Packages
# pkgtrans . /opt/SFWgcmn.pkg SFWgcmn
# pkgtrans . /opt/SFWgcc34l.pkg SFWgcc341
# pkgtrans . /opt/SFWvnc.pkg SFWvnc
The path to the Packages directory on SPARC is /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Packages
Add the three packages in the following order:
# cd /opt
# pkgadd -d SFWgcmn.pkg
# pkgadd -d SFWgcc34l.pkg
# pkgadd -d SFWvnc.pkg
CONFIGURING X:
Xwindows is configured with text files under /usr/dt but these shouldn’t be modified, make copies of them
under /etc/dt and modify the copies.
# mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/
# cp /usr/dt/config/Xsetup /etc/dt/config/
Edit the /etc/dt/config/Xservers to configure the extra sessions to Xwindows. The :0 server is the
default one which you log in to locally. In this example, one extra connection is being configured:
# vi /etc/dt/config/Xservers
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :0 -nobanner
:1 Local local_uid@console root /opt/sfw/bin/Xvnc :1 -httpd
/opt/sfw/vnc/classes -depth 16 -geometry 1024x768 -r fbwait 120000 -rfbauth
/opt/sfw/vnc/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -httpport 5801 -fp
tcp/localhost:7100 -alwaysshared
There are only two lines in this example of the file; it has just word wrapped on this page. Here are some of the important options:
This is the colour depth. An 8bit colour depth uses less network bandwidth but looks a bit blocky.
-depth 16
Choose whichever resolution you want. Yes, that is an “x” between the two numbers not an “*”.
-geometry 1024x768
The port number for the client connection. Each different session must use a different port number. For
example session :1 uses 5901 and session :2 could use 5902
-rfbport 5901
You can point a web browser at the Unix host with this port number and get a java-based connection to the
Unix host.
-httpport 5801
For example:
http://10.0.0.1:5801 (the your Solaris Box address)
PASSWORD
Every VNC client connection will receive a VNC password prompt. The same password is used for all clients.
This must be entered correctly before the login screen appears where users can use their normal Solaris login
details. To configure the password:
# HOME=/opt/sfw/vnc
# export HOME
# mkdir $HOME/.vnc
# /opt/sfw/bin/vncpasswd
Password: password
Verify: password
#
START VNC WITH DTLOGIN:
To enable VNC to start when dtlogin does, uncomment the Dtlogin*grabServer line in
/etc/dt/config/Xconfig or execute this sed command which will do the same thing:
# sed '/Dtlogin\*grabServer/s/^#//' /etc/dt/config/Xconfig >/tmp/Xconfig
# mv /tmp/Xconfig /etc/dt/config/Xconfig
