set the DISPLAY environment variable.

[Mirror breaking]

Hi,
I am trying to open Veritas Enterprise Administrator.
But it is asking me to set the display environment variable.
Please suggest me how to do it.
Thanks and regards

Get your IP address from the command(s) lanscan and ifconfig:

# lanscan
Hardware Station Crd Hdw Net-Interface NM MAC HP-DLPI DLPI
Path Address In# State NamePPA ID Type Support Mjr#
10/0/12/0 0x001083CFA5E5 0 UP lan0 snap0 1 ETHER Yes 11
9
# ifconfig lan0
lan0: flags=843
inet 130.1.1.15 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 130.1.255.255


Then set the display like this:

export DISPLAY=130.1.1.15:0.0

Just an addition to Pete's post.
If you are connecting from a PC, you need to give the IP of your PC.

export DISPLAY=IP.OF.YOUR.PC:0.0

If the IP of your PC is 10.32.5.34
export DISPLAY=10.32.5.34:0.0
