Sun Microsystems 817-3630-11 manual Configuring and Using Boot@Boot Support

Note that VNC is intended to be used only for SunPCi administration purposes, and that VNC is not a supported mechanism for remote display of SunPCi sessions for normal day-to-day operating system interaction. Under normal circumstances (single-user Sun system usage), you should use X11 remote display functionality for remote display of SunPCi sessions. Multiuser server situations should use Citrix for remote display.

Note – The SunPCi III 3.2.1 version of Xvnc and vncviewer are modified and work only with each other. They are not compatible with any other versions of VNC software.

As part of the VNC licensing agreement, Sun is required to make the VNC source code available for viewing with each SunPCi release. The VNC sources provided here are not supported by Sun Microsystems and are provided for reference purposes only as required under the GNU General Public License.

The VNC source code is located in the SunPCi III 3.2.1 CD source directory and is named vnc.tar.Z.

Uncompress the .Z file and then extract the .tar file to view the VNC source code.

Note – You are not required to build the VNC sources to use VNC. A prebuilt package is available as SUNWspvn3.

Configuring and Using Boot@Boot Support

To use SunPCi Boot@Boot support, you must configure the SunPCi daemon so that the daemon knows what to run. You must log in as root to configure Boot@Boot support, because the SunPCi daemon runs under the root account.

Configuring Boot@Boot Support for VNC

Note – Remember that the VNC package must be installed prior to configuring Boot@Boot support.
