Sun Zone Installation

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I have to install ECC 6.0 on solaris 10 (zone installation) with oracle 10g. I have two zones. I use Xmanager (remote conn software) to login to the global zone. But if i run sapinst from global zone through terminal it say connected but no popup for sapinst.

If i run ./startInstGui.sh -host xxxxx, it popups and then gives java exception unknown host..

how can i start my installation.

Thanks

If you install a zone you need to run sapinst from the zone you have installed, not from the global zone.

I login throug Xmanager on global zone. then i opened a terminal and use zlogin zonename.

Then i ran sapinst, it is giving me the message

"

guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host sapdevabap, port 21200 to continue with the installation

"

and there is no popup for the sapinst. can you tell me what to do or check.

Thanks

Yes - this is expected

Your zone has a different IP addresse than you were logged in.

You either have to login directly to the zone using ssh or telnet and then start sapinst or use

DISPLAY=<your ip>:<your display>

export DISPLAY

and then start sapinst.

if i login directly from xmanager to zone either through telnet or ssh, it is saying 'could'nt establish connection on 192.x.x.x. on port 23 (telnet) in ssh (22).

i login globally through xmanager, opened a terminal and then set the display environment also to my own machine as 192.5.5.45:0.0 and then ran but it is saying the same , waiting for connection and then no popup.

I created the directory sap in /usr and then mounted it by the procedure as mentioned in 870652 and i can see the output of command mount in zone as

So you can't ping the zones IP from your machine or your machine from the zone? If no, then something in the zones network setup is not correct.

You have to set this AFTER you logged in to the zone.

yes, i can ping from the zones to my machine and from my machine to the zones

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

yes i also set the display after logging in to the zone and then i cofirmed with env command it was showing my machine.

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Can you start xclock after you logged in to the zone and set the DISPLAY? If xclock is not showing up, then there's something wrong with your X-Server on your PC.

yes it worked. After setting the environment variable i was using ./startInstGui.sh, but when i used ./sapinst. i got the popup.

Thanks
