Configure the ND6HOSTD Process for Address
Resolution
You need the ND6HOSTD process only when you want to update the DNS with your
automatically generated IPv6 addresses. The ND6HOSTD process requires one
INET6 SUBNET and one INET SUBNET to be configured in the system (For more
information about DNS-query constraints, see the TCP/IPv6 Migration Guide).
The ND6HOSTD process is a Guardian process that you configure the $ZPM
persistence manager to start. It can be configured to run in one or more processors in
which a TCP6MON process is configured.
Configure the ND6HOSTD Process for Address Resolution
This subsection shows you how to configure the ND6HOSTD process as a persistent
process and also how to start it by using the TACL RUN command.
HP recommends that you configure the ND6HOSTD process as a generic Guardian
process with persistence and run it in one or more processors in which a TCP6MON
process is configured. This procedure is shown first.
The ND6HOSTD process must be configured by a super-group user.
Use the SCF ADD command to the Kernel subsystem ($ZZKRN) to define the
ND6HOSTD process and to add the process object to the system configuration
database.
Define these attribute names and values when configuring ND6HOSTD:
AUTORESTART n Specifies the number of times that the $ZPM persistence
manager tries to restart this process within a 10-minute
interval after an abnormal termination (the process
abends or stops by a means other than the ABORT
command).
A valid value for n other than zero must be specified for
the process to be persistent. The recommended value for
n is 10.
CPU (n,n1,…) Specifies that an instance of the processor be started in
each specified processor, even if a process is currently
not up.
The list of processors specified should include one or
more processors in which TCP6MON is configured. For
redundancy, a minimum of two processors should be
included in the list.
HOMETERM $device Specifies the home terminal to use when starting this
process.
$ZHOME should be specified for $device.
