X Window System settings after restoring to virtual disk

 

Revised on January 5, 2014

 

If X Window System on a physical server is migrated to a virtual environment, X Window System may not start up normally due to an inconsistency in the configuration file.
To resolve this issue, please follow these procedures to overwrite the configuration file (xorg.conf).

The configuration file is copied to "/boot/AIP_xorgconf"  on the image file created with the [Create Virtual Machine Compatible Image] option enabled.

If the X Window System starts normally or is in an environment in which X Window System is not configured, it is not necessary to follow these procedures.

Procedures

  1. If changes to the configuration settings are required, the following error message is displayed.
    Please select <No>.

 

  1. When <No> is selected, the following message is displayed. Again, select <No>.

 

  1. The following message is displayed.
