unable to open display localhost:0.0 in VMware RedHat linux machine

178210Jan 5 2007 — edited Feb 28 2007
I have been trying to Install Oracle 10g RAC in VMware linux virtual machine.

my virtual machines are running properly and I am able to use RSH & SSH.

when I run runInstaller it is not comming up due to DISPLAY environmental variable setup.

I have set the varable as follows
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

then if i execute xhost + it gives the following error
"xhost: unable to open display localhost:0.0"

I have tried with ipaddress instead of localhost. Eventhen it is giving the same error

What is the problem? How I can solve the issue?

I would definitely go with option #3. It is the easiest and the one with the least down time. I would suggest that you use AutoUpgrade to do the upgrade instead of the manual upgrade. It is easier and it does support having source Oracle Home and target Oracle Home on two different servers. Take a look at the Database Upgrade Quick Start Guide which shows how to get started with the tool. In your case you would execute "analyze" and "fixups" mode on the source system and wait for the changes to be applied on the standby. Then you break the connection and you can eventually do the upgrade using the "upgrade" mode. In your configuration file instead of specifying a "target_home" you should specify "target_version" instead.

Regards,

Daniel
