Migrating data

• 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.

Additional trial requirements

• Two versions of the Management application (DCFM, Network Advisor, or INM) cannot reside

on the same host unless there are two

guest operating system’s on the same host.
