11.23 xstm does not produce GUI of system

[ikeleong]

Hello;

I have a superdome that got reinstalled to 11.23 early December. I installed online diags version C.54.00

when I run xstm I get the gui screen, but the items are listed in ascii instead of GUI format.

I have RP servers that got reinstalled to 11.23 also, but xstm runs correctly

thanks much;
Ike

Shalom,

Few options:

From an external Linux box.

ssh -X hostnameof11.23box
# This will give you gui gpm.

OR

Set the DISPLAY variable to enable you to use xstm in gui mode.

Also check that xfs is running, /etc/rc.config.d/xfs
/sbin/init.d/xfs start
# starts xfs if not auto started.

Once you launch 'xstm' go to the 'OPTIONS' menu and select 'Map...'.

You will see a list of options available to you. The first option listed is:

"Xstm text map (graphical map limited to 254 devices)"

You can try unchecking the box, if it is checked, and see if it helps. If you have more than 254 devices though, you will be out of luck.

The most likely explanation is what Patrick suggests, that you have more than 254 devices.

If that's not the case, did xstm work before it was updated to 11.23? Are there any errors logged in the STM log files? Look under 'File -> UI Activity Log' and 'System -> System Activity Log' for the most likely places.
