Establishing graphical access for the wizard

The configuration wizard requires graphical access to the VCS systems where you want to configure service groups. If your VCS systems do not have monitors, or if you want to run the wizards from a remote UNIX system, do the following:

 To establish graphical access from a remote system

  1. From the remote system, (jupiter, for example), run:

# xhost +

  1. Do one of the following, depending on your shell:

# export DISPLAY=jupiter:0.0

# setenv DISPLAY jupiter:0.0

  1. Verify that the DISPLAY environment variable has been updated:

# echo $DISPLAY

jupiter:0.0

 To set up pre-Oracle configuration for the wizard

  1. Become oracle user:

    # su - oracle

  2. Start up the listeners on all cluster nodes:

    # $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start LISTENER_X

  3. Start up the Oracle RAC instances on each node. For example:

    # export ORACLE_SID=rac1

    # sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

    sqlplus> startup

  4. Set the TNS_NAMES parameter if the listeners.ora and tnsnames.ora files are not under the default directory.
