Installation Manual
Installing the Management Server on Linux76
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 following options
to yes: DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS and
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN.
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
where <ip-address> is the address of the client from which the Installer script is launched.
# export DISPLAY
For Example:
# DISPLAY=172.168.10.15:0.0
# export DISPLAY
Step 2 - Install the Management Server
If you are installing the management server from a network drive, follow the instructions as
described in ”Installing from a Network Drive” on page 64.
IMPORTANT: Run the entire installation from the same X client window. Starting a new X session
will result in the loss of environment variables required by the installer.
Keep in mind the following:
• Refer to the release notes for late breaking information.
• Make sure no other programs are running when you install the management server.
• In this release, no RPM entry is created for management server on Linux.
