Is it possible to run CMC in linux via ssh X forwarding?

aseques — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 07:20:39 GMT

At our company we have deployed VSA using an isolated network (via vlan), I would like to minimize the attack surface so I am trying to use a linux server as the only link between the two servers (appart of a machine with CMC that I can use via vmware console)

So far I haven't been able to launch the program but I'll tell what I did in case someone has an idea.

The linux install I'm using is ubuntu 16.04 64bit

I need some i386 dependencies because the software from hpe is only 32bit

apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32z1 lib32stdc++6 libxtst6:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxi6:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libjpeg62:i386

Installing it with sudo

sudo ./HPE_StoreVirtual_Centralized_Management_Console_for_Linux_BM480-10604.bin

I need to use ssh with x forwarding enabled

ssh -X username@linuxserver

Finally, booting the CMC with the bundled java

cd /opt/HPE/StoreVirtual/UI/
./jre/bin/java -jar UI.jar

So far this is the part that's working, unfortunately when I run the last command I get the folliwing:

$ ./jre/bin/java -jar UI.jar
debug1: client_input_channel_open: ctype x11 rchan 3 win 65536 max 16384
debug1: client_request_x11: request from ::1 43766

Just fixed it myself, it was yet another dependency that was missing, just do

apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386

And everthing should be fine
