It's been a while since I've done an install on AIX, but I believe that there's 
a rootrpre.sh script that has to be run before running the installer. I don't 
think it prevents the installer from starting, but it needs to be done in order 
to have a successful install.

Hi Nilesh,

 

I believe that you are facing problem with the user. I think you are trying to 
run the installer as root or someother user. First part, Check whether you have 
created an Oracle user and included this in to DBA group.Secondly
, Login as "Oracle" user and try running the runinstaller.sh, it should work. 
Even I had similar kind of problem and could resolve the issue by doing this. 
Let us know if any further problems exists.

 

reg,

Anant

Nilesh,

 

If the command is hanging, you probably have not set the ip address correctly. 
Make sure that the ip address that you are providing when setting DISPLAY is 
the ip of the machine where you are running the installer. Also, you might need 
to run "xhost +" to allow client to connect to the X server.

Before Oracle installation we have to do some preinstallation checks. 

One such check is to verify whether Xwindows application is properly configured.
To do that we have to issue the command 

xhost [ipaddress/hostname of the server]. eg : xhost 
192.168.64.118 or xhost hcm_trng.

When we issued the above command, we are getting the message "1356-200 unable 
to open DISPLAY". 

Actually we have to set the DISPLAY (It's a environemt variable) before issuing 
xhost command. 

We set the DISPLAY as shown below.

DISPLAY=192.168.64.118:0.0 ;export DISPLAY


Even this was not resolving the error. 
The above problem was resolved

Now we are getting the below problem. 
Just to update you about this issue.Now the below mentioned problem is resolved 
but the installer

is getting stuck with the message

"INFO: Created system preferences directory in java.home".

None of the windows application is getting started.There are utilties like 
xclock which is
not getting displayed.
