Windows 7-Xwindow emulator for Redhat s390

shibut · 01-05-2012, 11:11 AM

I have acess to zLinux-Redhat s390 installed on z9EC.
I'm using putty to access zLinux.
I'm completly new to Server Linux, can anyone please tell if there is any xWindow emulator for windows 7 which i can see the RedHat GUI installed in z Hardware.
I dont have acces to install any server applications on zLinux.

Thanks and regards

Hello,

You can easily use VNC for this. Is VNC set up on the server?

Cheers,

Josh

thanks for your reply.
I tried to connect VNC but it failed to conenct. I believe VNC server is not installed in s390 redhat linux

Can you install anything on the server? Or in that case, have the admin install VNC for you? If no to both, then sorry to break it to you, but you need a service like VNC to remote into it via GUI.

If you are just needing X then try mobaxterm.

I would find that unlikely. It is certainly the recommended interface to Anaconda for the install.
Possibly not there, possibly not listening on a standard port. Ring your support people.

Thanks for mentioning that, I almost forgot about that.
