Enabling IPv6 and configuring HTTP port for the Windows host agent
Enable your P9000 Performance Advisor Windows host agent to use IPv6 as the communication
protocol, if the P9000 Performance Advisor is also enabled for IPv6. Ensure that both the P9000
Performance Advisor and host agents communicate using the same protocol, either IPv4 or IPv6. Also,
configure the HTTP port that the host agent should use to communicate with P9000 Performance
Advisor.
To enable IPv6 and configure the HTTP port that Windows host agent should use:
1. Select Enable IPv6 to activate the IPv6 setting for your host agent.
You can enable IPv6 for the host agent in addition to IPv4. If you retain Disable IPv6 (default
option), the host agent will use only IPv4 as the communication protocol to communicate with
P9000 Performance Advisor on your management station.
2. Based on whether you have enabled or disabled IPv6 for the host agent, enter the corresponding
registered fully qualified Domain Name System (DNS) or IP address of the management station
in the Management Station Address box.
If multiple LAN cards are configured in the management station, enter the IP address of your
corporate LAN.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the DNS ([servername].[domain name]) or IP address that you provide
does not contain a space or non-alphanumeric characters.
The DNS or IP address of the management station is required by the host to establish connection
with the management station. After the connection is established, the host agent details appear
in the Host Information table on the Array View screen. For more information, see the chapter
on Communicating with hosts in the HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software
User Guide. For document download location, see “Related documentation” on page 152.
The DNS or IP address of your management station varies based on whether it is IPv6 or IPv4
enabled. The following are examples of DNS and IP address of management station that is IPv6
or IPv4 enabled:
• IPv6 enabled management station:
• DNS: test.abc.xyz.com
• IP address: 0000:a00:b000:a00:b000
• IPv4 enabled management station:
• DNS: test.abc.xyz.com
• IP address: 01.01.01.01
