Unable to open display from Systems Insight Manager in HPUX 11i v2

[Nancy Calderón]

Hello,

We have installed the SIM v4.2 in HPUX ver 11.23,
but when we login in the console trough a web browser (Internet explorer 6 or Mozilla Netscape) we can not display any graphic option, the message error is:

Unable to open Display

We already installed the jre 1.4 package

We also did an
xhost + from the machine we want to monitor the servers and
we also tried exporting the display from the server to the same monitor machine.

Could any body help us to find out what else we have to do ?

Thanks in advance

export DISPLAY=ip_addy:0.0


example
export DISPLAy=192.168.0.39:0.0

This is an HP-UX call.

I'm asking hp to move it.

What Xserver are You running on Your client?

If this is X.Org or XF86 (as I suppose by You posting in the Linux forum) it might be the case that the X-server doesn't listen on port 6000 (this is very reasonable).

You will have to exit Your X session and use
startx -listen_tcp

OTOH - You wrote Internet Explorer...
So *where* is Your X Server running? Surely not inside IE :)

Hi,

I think I have not understood yet, the client is a PC running Windows XP , so the question would be if there is any restriction to login the SIM console from the IE v6 from Windows XP? Or if there is something more I have to run on the Integrity that is the SIM server.

We mentioned Mozilla because we also tried to display graphic options from a PC running Linux, with the same error message, we are more interested on a Windows enviroment; but we don't know if it is mandatory to login by a web browser from an HPUX server?

Thanks again for your help.

Nancy - I'll ask this straight: Do You have an X Server running on Your WindowsXP host?

Nancy:

It sounds like you are logging in to HP SIM fine but then when you try to access one of the HP-UX utilities that has a graphical Xwindows UI, you get the message.

The question immediately above is applicable. In order to get Xwindows displays within Windows/IE, you will need an Xwindows application such as ReflectionX, MI/X, Exceed, or any number of other choices. Do a Google search for more info.
