You're running the java client on one of the server machines, but
you don't have an X server running?  I'm pretty sure that won't
work!  You can run the GUI from another machine and connect to the
servers; on the GUI machine, you will need to install

IBMJava118-JRE (IBM's Java runtime)
sysadm_base-client
sysadm_failsafe-client

Then when you run fstask on the client machine, you should get a
login dialog which lets you connect to your servers.
