Don't see the error you're getting. Could you please copy/paste it.
In general terms:
The xhost is done on the machine that contains the physical screen (runs
the X server) which is in this case your Reflections machine.
xhost +
The export is done on the machine which has the command you want to run,
in your case the machine on which runInstaller is found
export DISPLAY={host-where-reflections-is-running}:0.0
And the runInstaller is run by the Oracle user, not [never] the root
user. In the same session as you did the export. (So log in as oracle,
and then export, cd and runInstaller.)
The challenge is in the export above - knowing which display and screen
(the 0.0 pair).
But actually getting a copy of the error would also be useful.
