RE: [NV-L] 7.1.5 AIX remote upgrade
2007-02-07 15:05:35
By default the installation does require
an exported X-Windows display (for the copyright message and OK dialog
box). However a new install flag was added in 7.1.5 to suppress all pop-ups
(thus making it a silent install from the perspective of X-window). Sounds
like you just need to use this new flag, -q, when using the instalnv script.
Cheers,
Gareth

Mark,
Thanks for your response. I'm
doing this from a Windows XP machine, Hummingbird Exceed for the X-window
protocol, telnet session, and running export DISPLAY for any gui data.
Our NOC runs Netview this way from a laptop and it has worked great
for many years. I'm concerned specifically with using this approach
to do the upgrade. Is there a portion of the upgrade that requires
the gui display, or is there a problem running the installation files from
any directory on the box rather than from the CD as per the installation
guide procedure?
Thanks!

Eric,
I am making the assumption that the X-windows you are referring to is also
on a Unix/Linux machine, and not a Windows box. We do it all
the time from a remote Unix/Linux desktop to the NetView server, using
ssh or a telnet session.

Running 7.1.4 on AIX 5.3
Question: Do you know if there is any
problem running the instal remotely using an X-windows session? and,
My installation files are located on /var/tmp/nv715inst/
Thanks
