Configuration utilities

xconfig

xconfig

is the graphical tool that can also modify the parameters

initialized by POST to reconfigure a node.

The graphical interface allows the user to see the configuration state.
Also the names are consistent with the hardware names, since individual
configuration parameters are hidden to the user. The drawback of

xconfig

is that it can not be used as a part of script-based tests, nor can

it be used for remote debug.

xconfig

is started from a shell. Information on node 0 is read and

interpreted to form the starting X-windows display shown in Figure 57.

The xconfig window appears on the system indicated by the
environmental variable $DISPLAY. This may be overridden, however, by
using the following command:

% xconfig -display system_name:0.0

The xconfig window has two display views: one shows each component as
a physical location in the server, the other shows them as logical names.
Figure 57 and Figure 58 show the window in each view, respectively. To
switch between views, click on the Help button in menu bar and then
click the Change names option. See “Menu bar” on page 105.
