• 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 or IBM Network Advisor) cannot reside on
the same host unless there are two
guest operating systems on the same host.
• Once the Enterprise trial period expires, you must upgrade to Licensed software.
