Xlib error or a "Failed to connect to Server" error when you are running OUI on the Solaris operating system, do the following:
- Define the following environment variable on the host computer where you are running OUI:
%setenv DISPLAY <machine name>:0.0 - Replace
<machine name>with the name of the computer that displays the OUI. - On the computer that displays the OUI, enter the following command, which allows other computers to display information on the computer monitor:
%xhost + - Rerun the
runInstaller.shscript after you have set theDISPLAYenvironment variable.
Note:
You can run OUI without specifying theDISPLAY variable by running in silent mode using a response file.
