To install on a remote machine from the local machine, you must set permission on the local machine for the remote machine to display the installer windows on the local machine.
Granting permission for a remote machine to run the SDK or Open Server installer in GUI mode
At the UNIX prompt of your local machine, enter:
xhost +remote_machine
where remote_machine is the machine on which you are running the installer.
On the remote machine where you are installing the software, verify that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to the local machine where you are viewing the installer windows and output. If the installer cannot find your DISPLAY variable, you cannot run the GUI.
For C shell:
setenv DISPLAY host_name:0.0
For Bourne shell:
DISPLAY=host_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
where host_name is the name of the local (display) machine.
For
remote installations, you must be able to rsh into
the machine on which you are installing the software. If you cannot
do this, add the installation host to your .rhosts file.
