RE: [NV-L] 7.1.5 AIX remote upgrade

["Zoeckler, Eric A." <Eric.Zoeckler@us.ngrid.com>]

Mark,

Thanks for your response.  I'm doing this from a Windows XP machine, Hummingbird Exceed for the X-window protocol, telnet session, and running export DISPLAY for any gui data.  Our NOC runs Netview this way from a laptop and it has worked great for many years.  I'm concerned specifically with using this approach to do the upgrade.  Is there a portion of the upgrade that requires the gui display, or is there a problem running the installation files from any directory on the box rather than from the CD as per the installation guide procedure?

Thanks!

Eric, 
I am making the assumption that the X-windows you are referring to is 
also on a Unix/Linux machine, and not a Windows box.  We do it all 
the time from a remote Unix/Linux desktop to the NetView server, using ssh or a 
telnet session.
