Configure X11 on Solaris 11.4

Log into the SPARC server as root.   The server needs to have access to a software repository so that you can install the solaris-desktop package as follows:

# pkg install solaris-desktop

root@BSPZTSTDB0303:~# pkg install solaris-desktop
           Packages to install: 379
            Services to change:  15
       Create boot environment:  No
Create backup boot environment:  No

root@BSPZTSTDB0303:~# inetadm -e xvnc-inetd
root@BSPZTSTDB0303:~# svcs -vx

When the installation is complete, enable XDMCP connections by editing the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. Add this line to the end of the file:

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

Enable xvnc-inetd as follows:

# inetadm -e xvnc-inetd

Restart the graphical login service (gdm) as follows:

# svcadm restart svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default

Check the state of the gdm service by typing:

# svcs -vx

configure X-Server to accept remote connections.

#svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/tcp_listen = boolean: true
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> end

#svccfg -s xvnc-inetd
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1280x720 -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none"
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> end

# svcadm disable gdm xvnc-inetd; svcadm enable gdm xvnc-inetd

Step 5
Point your favourite VNC client at your Solaris server and test if it accepts your VNC connection – you should be presented with a Username/Password login screen.

You could just install solaris -large-server or just a minimal packages (if you prefer) to allow runinstaller to run.

# pkg install xauth x11/diagnostic/x11-info-clients library/motif terminal/xterm

5.       Initialize the terraform

This may indicate a network issue, or an issue with the requested Terraform Registry.

You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands should now work. If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform, rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary. debaranw@DEBARANW-IN MINGW64 /c/terraform/test $

6.       Check the environment variable and run terraform plan
