Device Manager settings in IPv6 environments
Device Manager supports IPv6-based communication. To use Device Manager in an IPv6 environment,
you need to change the Device Manager settings according to the environment's requirements.
To use Device Manager in an IPv6 environment, make sure that the Device Manager settings meet
the following requirements:
• Set up the OS so that both IPv6 and IPv4 can be used because, even if IPv6 is being used, IPv4
is also required for processing in the product.
• You can only use global addresses as IPv6 addresses. Global-unique local addresses (site-local
addresses), and link-local addresses cannot be used.
• When specifying the IP address or host name of the Device Manager server, HP recommends that
you use the host name. If you specify an IPv6 address, in Internet Explorer 6 you might not be
able to connect to the Device Manager server or move from window to window.
Settings for migrating Device Manager to an IPv6 environment
If Device Manager is used in an IPv4 environment and you intend to use it in an IPv6 environment,
edit the httpsd.conf file.
NOTE:
If Device Manager is installed as a new installation in an IPv6 environment, the procedure described
below is not necessary because the installer automatically changes the settings.
To migrate Device Manager to an IPv6 environment:
1. Stop the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services.
2. Open the httpsd.conf file.
The httpsd.conf file is stored in the following locations:
• In Windows:
installation-folder-for-Common-Component\httpsd\conf\httpsd.conf
• In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/httpsd/conf/httpsd.conf
