• Make sure you close all instances of the application before upgrading.
Shut down EFCM on the management server, as well as on all remote workstations.
If you still receive error messages after closing the application, enter the following commands:
#ps -ef | grep -i “” to list the process ID
#kill -9 “process ID”
• Check for and install the latest Java patches for your operating system. DCFM requires
JRE 1.6.0. For the Solaris web site listing patch information, go to
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp.
• (Solaris only) To use IPv6 on a server that is IPv4 and IPv6 enabled, complete the following
steps.
a. Open a command window.
b. Type
ifconfig <interface name> inet6 plumb up and press Enter.
c. Restart the Management server and client, if running.
If the IPv6 address is not configured properly, the client will show a "Server Not Available at
port 24600" message even though the server started successfully.
• Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client
applications to display from the host on which they are installing the DCFM Server (typically,
this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged in user on
the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).
• 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 DCFM 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.
