Exceed and HPUX

[K.S. Suresh_1]

Hi,

I have changed the ip address of HP 9000 Server running HP-UX 10.20. After rebooting the Server i could not able to connect to HPUX using Exceed software. But I am able to connect using telnet. There is no DNS configured.

It is giving the following error message when the exceed loads and the Exceed screen vanishes after clicking Ok.

"Unable to initialize or connect to the desktop messaging system. Check your $HOME/.dt/errorlog for more information.
Press Ok and your session will exit.



/.dt/errolog

Content of errorlog file

Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: xx.xx.xx.xx:0.0

Thanks in Advance,

Regards
Suresh

Hi there.
Try this little script and set it up for your purposes :

#!/bin/sh
#
# set -x
#
#
#
export TERM=xterm
export DISPLAY=10.131.240.100:0.0
PATH=$PATH:/opt/perf/bin

Put your IP address in it. Your IP address should also be in the host file of your HP-ux machine.

First thing to check, has your PC host table been updated for the new server IP address?

If your eXceed program reference the server by IP address, then you'll have to run the Xconfig program for changing the targeted server IP address.

Assuming your eXceed uses XDMCP-query mode, bring up the Xconfig program "communication" control, click at the "configure" button then you'll see the server IP address being referenced there.

sounds like CDE has the problem not exceed !

"Unable to initialize or connect to the desktop messaging system."

Smells networky and bear in mind you changed the hostname .... are you sure entries in /etc/hosts netconf etc are set correctly & tie up with one another ? Does dr_dt shed any light ?

If telnet works then PC & HPUX system have network connectivity ! Maybe worth checking Exceeds config or try a Braodcast and see if the hpux system appears in the chooser listing : if it does go back and check hostname resolution etc on the hpux server ?

Hi,

Can your PC client with exceed ping the server ?
does dtlogin process up and running ?

[Amit Kureel]

Try this :
1) login as root on your HP-UX m/c
2)hostname
3) reboot

Best of Luck

How did you change your IP ? did you use set_parms ?

If not use set_parms to do it as it will update CDE with any changes needed.

Hi, K.S.

You have to configure your exceed
Xsession as below :

Program type : X client
Start Method : telnet or rlogin
Terminal Type : X window
Host : server ip adress or hostname
Host type : UNIX
Command : /usr/bin/X11/hpterm -d @d -fn
courB12 -sb -sl 5000 &

I hope help you.

Hi,

I had this kind of problem, directly connected
on a station after modifications of IP address
or hostname. The response you get on your
message seems to come from your HP box instead
of exceed...
To correct this problem I made modifications
with set_parms (hostname and ip_address), and
it worked well...
