following commands:

#ps -ef | grep -i “”

to list the process IDs

#kill -9 “

Process_ID” where Process_ID is any Management application process

Additional pre-installation requirements for UNIX systems

Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client
applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor server
(typically, this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a
logged-in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).

If this is a headless unit with no console, refer to

“Additional pre-installation requirements for

UNIX systems (headless installation)”

on page 12.

Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid
value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a
remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=Remote_IP_address:0.0).

You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server, which
listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.

To display to a remote system, you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running
the xhost +IP command, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host
from the X-based desktop of the remote system.

Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the xterm command, from the same
shell from which you run install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server
display should open.

For Linux OS with the SELinux security policy enabled, make sure you complete the following
steps.

1. Disable the SELinux security policy using the

setenforce 0

command.

2. Install the application (refer to

“Installing the application”

on page 9).

3. Enable the SELinux security policy using the

setenforce 1

command.

Installing the application

Before you install the application, make sure your system meets the minimum pre-installation
requirements (refer to
