Management server installation issues

[randy]

I was trying to install Management Server on a test machine that has 2 database but I'm running into a problem. I already have OEM running on my client and I can use some of the OEM features but to use performance manager,etc, I need to install the Management Server. So from th korn shell the first thing that I did was to type "oemapp console" and hit enter and this is the message that I received:

$ oemapp console
Xlib: connection to "0:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetExceptionjava.lang.NullPointerException
Cannot launch application oracle.sysman.vtcConsole.VTCConsole
Usage: oemapp
The installed applications are: worksheet, console, dbastudio


NOTE: The cursor is still blinking indicating that there might be some more installation going on but I'm not sure.

Can any one help or explain whats going on?

You need to make sure you set the DISPLAY variable on the management server and use xhost + on your X server.

I don't know much about OEM, but this err is a unix issue. It seems that you're not at the console when you exec this command. Here's what you need to do, "xhost +" you probably need to be root for this. export your display like so, export DISPLAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 where xxx is your ip address. The export display command may vary according to the type of shell you are using. Hope this helps.
