For the record, my upgrade from 7.1.4 to 7.1.5 on AIX
completed with no problems from my XP desktop using Hummingburd exceed.
Took 20 minutes from the time I entered instalnv -k
SERVER -u
Thank you all for your
feedback

V714 puts up an x popup. I believe
Eric is saying that he DOES have a proper x emulation session and is just asking
if it is ok to use it, not reporting a problem.

I don't believe the X-windows based pop-up
occurred during installs prior to 7.1.5. So if you don't use the -q flag
wit instalnv and you don't have a correctly exported X-session available,
chances are the installation script could hang (don't know what this means for
the validity of the underlying installation though). I'm betting that you're
asking for trouble if you don't use the flag given that someone went to the
trouble of adding it in 7.1.5 :-)
I'm not speaking from experience ... just adding my
two cents.

It sounds to me like
everyone is saying that it ought to work just fine. I've installed Netview (not
7.1.5 yet) using x emulation on my laptop to access a headless server. Everyone
does this. I don't understand what the caveats are about.

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.
