Hi ,

To make it simple if u have VNC installed

just try this

Which vncserver ( this will display a path)

Copy and paste the path and press enter (this will give you the diplay number along with the host name)

Now you can open VNC viewer and type in hostname:Displaynumber, u will the GUI now. you can start your installation from here

TO connect to AIX for other purpose you can use SecureCRT .

Hope it helps

Hi Balaji,

You Can use Xmanager tool to access the AIX Host.

Its very user freindly. You hv to install it on your windows PC ad configure it with IP/Hostname etc of your AIX server.

Hi Balaji,

You can connect to a AIX box via a telnet client or using putty.

You'll not get a gui... you'll need to move the installation files to AIX and then kick SAPinst using commands... you'll need an Xserver in order to see the sapinst screens...

This is all described in detail at the installation manual.. although some basic knowledge of AIX is definately needed.

Pls explain what is XServer. Is it a front end tool to be installed in my machine to view the SAPGUI

[JPReyes]

Hi Balaji,

XServer is a tool that will allow you to display the graphic interphase of SAPinst during the installation of SAP in your AIX box.

You can use software like Reflexion / Hummingbird or even download some freeware Xserver from the web
