HP Storage Essentials V5.1 Installation Guide Second Edition (Linux Release) (T4283-96055, November 2006)

Installing the Management Server on Linux12

• ORA_HOME should have a minimum of 50 GB of free space.

Accessing the Linux Host

Access the Linux host by doing one of the following:

• Using the graphics console on the localhost - Run the following command at the command

prompt:

# /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +

NOTE: Running the xhost + command is important because non-root users (such as

oracle) need to be able to use the X server display for the duration of the installation. You

may run the xhost - command to prevent unauthorized use of the X server once the

installation is complete.

• Accessing the Linux host from a remote Linux client

1. Ensure that the X server on the remote client can accept TCP connections:

a. Open /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

b. Verify that the line for the screen number 0 (the line containing :0 local) does not contain

the -nolisten tcp option. Remove the -nolisten tcp option if present. The line

should look like:

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X

c. Enable TCP connections on the X server of the remote client:

SUSE - Edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set the

DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS and

DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN options to "yes".

For example: DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"

DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes"

RHEL (for gnome) - Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set the DisallowTCP

option to false (uncomment if commented)

For example: DisallowTCP=false

d. If you made any changes in the configuration files during the previous steps, reboot the

system for the changes to take effect.

2. Run the following command at the command prompt:

# /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +

Then, set the display to your client. Refer to the documentation for your shell for more

information.

• Accessing the Linux host from a remote Windows client - Start up a local X server, connect

through xterm to the remote system and set your DISPLAY environment variable appropriately by

using the following commands:

# DISPLAY=<ip-address>:displaynumber.screennumber
