error installing oracle software

It looks like you have some prerequisites needed before it will install... What does the documentation say?

How are you connecting to wlsvmfrm?

If' you'd ssh'd into it, you'll need XWindows set up to display back to your local machine from the remote..

DISPLAY is set up to localhost so it is trying to launch a window on the remote server not your local machine.

Before you run the installer, just use a simple X app like xeyes from that server.  If you see the eyes, the install should work.

From the shell prompt, just type: xeyes

You'll probably need the -X parameter to ssh (forward X to client)

The Failed message for "Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors" is not a problem and normal.
As this is the only one failed then you should press "y" on the Continue question.
Normally I also install package "xterm" and first do a: xterm &
and check if the graphical xterm terminal comes up correctly.

>>Normally I also install package "xterm" and first do a: xterm &

xeyes normally comes installed so you don't have to install any other packages.

How do you install xterm

It depends on which Linux distrubution you are using.
If it's Red Hat or Oracle Linux then via:

yum install xterm

Select allOpen in new window

But for this the server needs to have a connection to a respository, either via the Internet or a local one.

Simple fix, ssh into machine to do your install.

am in solaris

All Solaris systems provide native sshd running, so you'll use an ssh client to connect, then complete your install.

i did
sudo pkg install -r openssh
Password:
No updates necessary for this image.

how do i use an ssh client to connect

If you're not already using ssh, why do you need to use it?

how do i fix the error

The installer is graphical so you would need X-Windows.
Could you tell how you are currently connecting to the server ?
If this is a terminal then a graphical screen is not possible.

You could also install without a graphical screen by creating an input file.
I can try to sort this out but I would need to know some parameters like the location of  oraInventory, Oracle Home, the group name, e.g. oinstall etc.

Have we established if you even have X installed? Someone mentioned xeyes, which is normally installed with X
What does

mobixterm

xeyes not eyes

You probably mean MobaXterm.
That's working fine with X-sessions as the X-server is integrated in the program.
You can create a new session, SSH, fill in the IP-address or DNS name of the server
In the Advanced SSH settings, X11-Forwarding needs to be enabled and the X-server needs to be started.

-bash-4.4$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

I'm not convinced you've got X installed at all. I'm not really familiar with Solaris

how do i install it

I suppose having $DISPLAY set might suggest X is installed but i'm not certain about that. As for installing software, you need to check the Solaris docs as i don't know its package manager

You don't need to install the complete X-window system, only certain X libraries.
Did you already install all the prerequisite packages as described here.
https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/12.2.1.4/sysrs/system-requirements-and-specifications.html#GUID-570BD07A-BC0C-408E-847E-93315A13C649
Could you maybe tell which version of Solaris you are using ?

You asked, "how do i use an ssh client to connect".

Likely best to search for a guide about this... and... most simple way...

ssh root@$host

Select allOpen in new window

Then input your root password.

Using ssh may circumvent the problem.

Note: If you're running a headless server (no graphics card or display) the trying to use FMW (which appears to require either a real or fake display), then you'll have a new set of work required for your installation to succeed.

If FMW requires GUI interaction (likely what the failing test above verifies), then you'll refer to Oracle docs for how to setup FMW on a headless server.

Likely this will require setting up a Virtual Frame Buffer along with X11, then you'll have to export X11 to some physical device to interact with FMW.

Fastest + most correct fix for this problem (if you're installing on a headless server) might be to open a support ticket with Oracle, as they likely have a recipe (set of known steps) to do this type of setup.

What IS this Oracle software - does it actually require a windowed environment or not?

As explained earlier, it does not require a GUI but you need to execute the jar file with parameters at least once with a GUI.

Sorry, i missed that, but this is the usual workaround on a headless box where graphical java classes can be loaded

java -Djava.awt.headless=true

Select allOpen in new window

So that should be tried. e.g.

 java -Djava.awt.headless=true  -jar fmw_12.2.1.4.0_infrastructure.jar

Select allOpen in new window

Try that please chalie001
