Issues with sas installation on Linux

[Andy547]

Do you mean none of the started?  if so were there messages?  Or do you mean they all worked but that didn't help the install start?

This is what am getting

[sas@kkg-node1 ~]$ xclock
Error: Can't open display:
[sas@kkg-node1 ~]$ xterm
-bash: xterm: command not found
[sas@kkg-node1 ~]$

Ah,  

Error: Can't open display:  

means there is not DISPLAY environment variable.  

What happens when you 

if [ -z ${DISPLAY+x} ]; then echo "DISPLAY is unset"; else echo "DISPLAY is set to '$DISPLAY'"; fi

Mine says:

[sas@myhost ~]$ if [ -z ${DISPLAY+x} ]; then echo "DISPLAY is unset"; else echo "DISPLAY is set to '$DISPLAY'"; fi
DISPLAY is set to 'localhost:10.0'

If you see:

DISPLAY is unset

then there is no DISPLAY variable set  to set it try: 

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
echo "New Display is $DISPLAY "

Also how are you connecting to this Linux system?  Putty from Windows?  SSH from another Linux box? 

for Putty:

in connection settings Connection > SSH > X11
   Check X11 forwarding: [x] Enable X11 forwarding
   Add to the "X display location" field: localhost:0.0 

for command line SSH add the -X parameter to enable X11 Forwarding.  

It looks like you do not have xterm installed.  Just use xclock until it works then do the SAS install. I don't have xclock on my system but I do have xterm and gedit and a few others. Your machine will be different than mine. 

If you are not using X11 forwarding locolhost:0.0 will not work  You have to use the real IP address of the machine that will display the window like:

export DISPLAY=myhost.mycorp.com:0.0

I had set the Environment variable

Output : [sas@kkg-node1 ~]$ if [ -z ${DISPLAY+x} ]; then echo "DISPLAY is unset"; else echo "DISPLAY is set to '$DISPLAY'"; fi

DISPLAY is set to '192.168.100.150:0.0'

am tried using Mobaxterm and Putty softwares

In putty i already tried multiple times enabling X11 forwarding

I have Xserver on Mobaxterm and also Installed Xming..I tried different things but no luck.

My Grid control machine worked fine installation when I had set enviroment variable, I dont know why nodes giving this problem

No clue what else to try

Have you checked your firewalls? They are a common cause for these issues.

My firewall is not active, I have checked that

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions and advice, I really appreciate that.

Installation issue is fixed after uncommenting below lines in   /etc/ssh/sshd_config and worked it through SSH X11 Forwarding Display using MobaXterm on Windows.

X11Forwarding yes
 X11UseForwarding yes
