HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.2 Install Guide (T1789-96317, May 2011)

host agents also communicate using IPv6. Also, configure the HTTP port that P9000 Performance
Advisor should use for all its communications.
NOTE:
• Both the P9000 Performance Advisor and host agents must communicate using the same protocol,
either IPv4 or IPv6, and also the same HTTP port number.
• Enabling IPv6 in an IPv4 only environment, that is, on a management station configured with only
an IPv4 interface, does not make P9000 Performance Advisor unusable. In such cases, P9000
Performance Advisor uses IPv4 as the communication protocol for all its communications.
• If Windows Vista is installed on the management station, enter the registered fully qualified domain
name or the IP address of the management station.
To enable IPv6 and configure the HTTP port for the management station:
1. Select Enable IPv6.
By default, the Enable IPv6 check box is not selected.
2. Enter the HTTP Port number that P9000 Performance Advisor should use for all its communications.
Port 80 is the default port number, which you can retain or provide a different port number.
3. Click Next to proceed.
The Authentication Configuration installation window appears. For more information on the next set
of steps, see “Implementing the authentication method” on page 48.
Later, if you want to change the port number that you gave during the time of installation, see Changing
the HTTP port number on page 137
