The installation script, for UNIX hosts, displays a series of prompts. Respond to these prompts as

5. Click Y to continue.
Enabling the UNIX host agent to use IPv6
Enable your P9000 Performance Advisor UNIX 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 UNIX host agent should use:
1. When you are prompted to enable or disable IPv6, enter Y in the command prompt window to
enable IPv6.
Enter N (default option) if you do not want the UNIX host to use IPv6 as a communication protocol.
2. Based on whether you have enabled or disabled IPv6 for your host agent, enter the corresponding
DNS or IP address of the management station. The UNIX host agent will use the selected protocol
type to establish communication with the management station.
Based on the DNS or IP address that you provide, the corresponding protocol is established as
the default communication protocol.
3. Enter the HTTP Port number that the host agent should use to communicate with P9000 Performance
Advisor on the management station.
The port number that you enter must be the same as that provided when installing P9000
Performance Advisor on the management station. Port 80 is the default port number, which you
can retain or provide a different port number.
4. Press Enter to continue.
The installation wizard installs the P9000 Performance Advisor UNIX host agent folder in the
following location: /opt/xppa/hostagent.
For more information on enabling IPv6 on your host, see the important notes in “Enabling IPv6 and
configuring HTTP port for the Windows host agent” on page 74.
