Now, this one was pretty frustrating, especially with a DBA demanding X11 access to an AIX server so that he could install on it...

Here is how to do it:

1. Check that the X11 server is installed

This can be done with the following command:

# lslpp -l | grep -i X11.Dt 

If X11 is installed on an AIX machine, the above command should return (more or less):

If not, you need to install the X11 server. See below.

2. Installing the X11 server on an AIX machine

The X11 packages are on the #2 AIX installation CD, in the /installp/ppc/ directory.

To search for the proper package, once the CD has been installed in the CD-ROM drive of your AIX machine, you can issue the following commands:

# find /cdrom1 -name *dt*
/cdrom1/installp/ppc/X11.adt
/cdrom1/usr/sys/inst.images/X11.adt

Here, of course, the CD-ROM drive is mounted under /cdrom1.

If we list this directory, here is the content:

# cd /cdrom1/installp/ppc/
# ls
.toc                     X11.help.en_US           csm.gui.dcem_1.6.0.10

Java5.sdk                X11.motif                sysmgt.help.msg.en_US

X11.adt                  X11.vfb                  sysmgt.sguide
X11.apps                 X11.vsm                  sysmgt.websm

Now, to install with smitty, type smitty as root, and go to "Software installation > Install software".

Next, select your CD-ROM device, and check the following configuration is correct:

                                Install Software

Type or select values in entry fields.       
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

In the SOFTWARE to install, press "F4" (=List) and select all the CDE packages, using the list of packages above as a guide.

Next, press ENTER and the installation should proceed correctly.

3. How to start the X11 server

There are several possibilities here. Please keep in mind that I was trying to have a minimal X11 server, to allow one user to connect. I was not so much interested in correctness...

Two possibilities:

• Use the dtlogin command as shown below:

# /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon

• Use the /etc/rc.dt script as shown below:

# /etc/rc.dt

This script has the advantage of launching a full X11 environment, including a login prompt on the console.

In both cases, you can check the X11 server is running correctly with the following command:

andre@galactus$ ps -fe | grep -i dtlogin | grep -v grep
    root   94310       1   0   26 sep      -  0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon
    root  147544   94310   0   26 sep      -  0:00 dtlogin <:0>        -daemon

4. Restart X11 in case of a crash or a misbehaving server

Please make sure you go through the entire list. This is a bit tedious, but it works very well, so make sure you go through all the steps and don't try to skip one...

• Stop all "rc.bootx" processes:

# ps -fe | grep -i rc.bootx
# kill -9 <rc.bootx PIDs>

WARNING: If there are ANY "rc.bootx" processes, they MUST be stopped before anything else!

• Stop all "dtlogin" processes:

# ps -fe | grep -i dtlogin
# kill -9 <dtlogin PIDs>

WARNING: Make sure there are no processes attached to the "dtlogin" processes...

• Delete all temporary files:

cd /var/dt
rm Xerrors
rm Xpid

Sometimes, it could be interesting to keep a copy of the Xerrors file...

• Check available space under /var and /tmp:

For instance:

-bash-3.00$ df -g /var /tmp
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/hd9var        1.02      0.29   72%      556     1% /var
/dev/hd3           3.05      2.28   26%     1726     1% /tmp

This space-checking stage is optional, but you never know... :-)

• Check that the "dtsrc" service is inoperative:

Do this with the following command:

$ lssrc -s dtsrc
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 dtsrc                                          inoperative

• Restart the service with "/etc/rc.dt" :

# /etc/rc.dt

• Check that the "dtlogin" service is running:

bash-2.05b$ ps -fe | grep -i dtlogin | grep -v grep
    root   65704       1   0   Sep 09      -  0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon
    root   74118   65704   0   Sep 09      -  0:00 dtlogin <:0>        -daemon

• Check that the service is marked as "active":

bash-2.05b$ lssrc -s dtsrc
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 dtsrc                                          active
