X Window System settings after restoring to virtual disk

 

Revised on January 15, 2014

 

In the event that RHEL (CentOS) 5X environment configured with X Window System in backup source environment is migrated to a virtual environment with [Create Virtual Machine Compatible Image] option enabled, X Window System may not start up normally due to an inconsistency in the configuration file.
To solve this problem, please take the following procedures to overwrite the configuration file (xorg.conf) at a specified location.

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

If X Window System is normally started or in the environment where X Window System is not configured, you do not need to take the procedures.
