thanks Carlos, I wish I had the xwindows packages installed but I don't, and i really shouldn't put them on these 14 servers.
if ocfs2console can do this without bringing down the cluster for a period, there has to be a way to manually do the same steps as it does? anybody have some ideas? thanks! -- Jim On Sat, Dec 2, 2017 at 4:15 AM, Carlos Xavier <cbas...@conection.com.br> wrote: > Hi Jim. > > > > If you have the Xwindows packages instaled on this server you can run GUI > applications remotely. > > To achieve this, you need to use Xming and Putty.
