Hi Zahid,

As the error mentions, did you try setting up the DISPLAY variable pointing out to where should be console go ?

I understand you are running the hagui directly on server ... you need to redirect the console to some display machine

If you want the console to appear on your desktop or laptop, you have to use a X software like Xming or X manager & make it to listen to display requests ..

then on server, you need to set DISPLAY variable like  DISPLAY=<IP_ADDRESS_OF_LAPTOP>,0.0 

check out the display port what it is listening with your X software (it should appear in systray) ..

Once display is set, then re-trigger ... it should throw theGUI on laptop or desktop ...

Zahid,

You also want to make sure that your putty session (or other SSH Client) has the "X11 Forwarding" option selected.  See the attached screen capture from putty.

Why are you trying to run hagui on the cluster nodes.  The normal reasons for this, is you are logging on to the PHYSICAL VGA console (which is pretty rare these days as you mainly ssh to server remotely) or you do not have permissions to install client on you client computer.  If the reason is either of these, then you need to set DISPLAY variable.  However, it is better to install java console on your client (less network traffic between server and client so it is quicker and you can manage both clusters from the same client). Normally the client is Windows so you can download this or install the rpm you already have on you client if it is a Linux client with rpm package management - both of these can be downloaded from  http://go.symantec.com/vom as the DR nodes tells you on which presumebly you have not installed the Java console.

If you use the VOM link in Mike's post, click on 'Other Resources', then 
'Download: Veritas Cluster Server Java Console, Veritas Cluster Server Simulator, Veritas Enterprise Administrator Console

Download the Java GUI for your Windows desktop.

Much easier than trying to install and manage on cluster nodes....

OK, so you say you already did the same as we recommended above ..

1. X11 forwarding enabled

2. DISPLAY variable set correctly ..

3. X manager software installed

Do u see any GUI on laptop or not at all see anything ? any network security softwares in between which prevents X from coming ?

To eliminate the problem, can u simply try runnig xclock on your linux server with same display & X 11 forwarding enabled ? if there is an issue between network , you should NOT see the x clock also ...

atleast you would know where to go from here ..

You said  "the person who will administer the Cluster is a Linux OS person" - this does not necessarily mean you should use Linux hagui, especially not on the cluster node - as in an earlier post, you should ONLY use hagui on the cluster node itself if:

1. You are logging on to the PHYSICAL VGA console (which is pretty rare these days as you mainly ssh to server remotely and most computer rooms do not even have a VGA console connected to the server)
2. You do not have permissions to install client on you client computer.

If neither of these appy, then the GUI you should use, should be for the client you use, so if your Linux OS person uses a Linux client, then they should use Linux hagui on their computer, not the cluster nodes`, but if the Linux client does not use rpm package management, then they will need to convert rpm to say debian if using Ubuntu.

I am a Linux guy, but unfortunately I still have to use Windows clients, so I have a dual boot and I use both Linux and Windows GUIs in my Linux and Windows partitions.

If you Linux OS person is using a Windows client, then I would not use hagui to X display back to X manager software on Windows as this is not very efficient and the Windows and Linux GUIs look the same, so there is no point doing this unless you already have X display software and have no permissions to install additional software

@ Gaurav

I can run other applications (after executing the command ssh -X user@IP) like gedit, system-config-network or system-config-users but when I run /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/hagui I faced the below messages

On a centos machine/User Machine

One more thing : On the Cluster Node when I ran the hagui I have to run it but got the below error. I think first I have to run the hagui on the cluster Node itself.

libXext.so.6 should be in package libXext-1.1-3 - is this installed?

Need to install libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm now and then run hagui again to find out the next missing library :)

Mike

Finally Done. Few below i686 libraries also required which I did installed. Now Thanks to all with plenty of help and bundle of thanks. Every post by every person helped my alot and need +thumb. But I dont understand whom marked as Solution as every post is helpful.

libXtst

libXi.so.6

libxcb.so.1

libXau.so.6

• (Although I did install some packages with force and nodeps options)
• Almost all packages I install of Centos 6.2 (My rhel is also 6.2)
• All packages I got from the below Web Site:

          http://rpm.pbone.net

I also attached the packages for anyone's help as this tease me alot so these packages may saves anyones time.

Good to know its solved .... I would say solution would go to Mike, he the man for this solution .... sorry to got discontinued on this post in last two days ..
