  • 1.  AIX X11 installation ?

    Hello,
    I am installing AIX 6 on a newly created lpar. I finished the install, rebooted and noticed that there was no X11 directory in /usr/lpp. Isn't that a part of the bos installation ?

    When I installed my VIO server lpar that directory was there.

    Any direction will be greatly appreciated.

    Regards

    X11 is an optional fileset.
    From memory, there is an option "Install X if adapter" in one of the boot menus.
    There is also an option to "Install all device support".
    It seems your Aix 6.1 installation was on an lpar without a graphics adapter, and that all device support was selected.
    The vio server is installed from a mksysb image which contains the X11 filesets.
    For what its worth, I never install all device support on a system. I think its a waste of space to install device drivers for hardware that will never be used.
