Professional edition pre-installation requirements (headless)
An X Server display is required, even when performing a headless installation, to run the initial
configuration. Before you install the Management application, complete the following:
• 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 Management application
Server (typically, this simply requires that the system console be present and running with a
logged in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).
The display can be any host X Server (for example, DISPLAY can be set to display configuration
to another UNIX system that has an X-based desktop).
• 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=remoteipaddress:0.0).
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 Management application server host, on
a local terminal window of the X-based desktop of the remote system.
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 Management application server host
from the X-based desktop of the remote system.
• Make sure to 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.
