Pre-migration requirements
• Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid value (for example,
to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a remote system that has an X Server
running, export DISPLAY=
Remote_IP_Address:0.0).
You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server which listens by default on
TCP port 6000 on the remote host.
To display to a remote system you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running command xhost
+IP, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host from the X-based desktop of the remote
system.
• Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the command xterm from the same shell from which you
run
install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display should open.
