Opening the VRC Console

Certain server-based procedures are executed from the console instead of the VRC client.

Because the console runs on the Sun server, you access it using the X protocol. We recommend that you use a Sun terminal, but you can also use a PC-based X package, such as Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server.

Note: If you choose to use VNC viewer, you must install VNC server on the server where the VRC server resides.

Use these procedures to access the console.

Procedures

Opening the console from an X terminal
  1. Open your Xclient application (or VNC server).

  2. Your application might require you to enter a host name (IP address of the Xserver) and your password. The desktop for the Xserver and the console window appears.

  3. Enter the following command:

start_console.sh

The VRC Console window is displayed.

Opening the console from the server host console
