Troubleshooting HP SUM in IPv6 Red Hat and Novell SUSE-based Linux environments

  • Verify that you can establish an SSH connection to the remote target server using the credentials within HP SUM by issuing the following command at a console prompt:

    ssh <ipv6 address>

    SSh 2101:db8:0:1::9

    You must enter the root password for the target Linux server at the console to complete the IPv6 connection.

  • Validate that you can ping the remote target server. In Linux, you need to use the ping6 command to ping IPv6 addresses:

    ping6 <ipv6 address>.

  • Ensure you can ping the IPv6 loopback address:

    ping6 ::1

  • Use the DNS hostname instead of IPv6 address to ensure the address is correct.

  • Use ipconfig to validate you have IPv6 addresses assigned to your NICs. For more information about troubleshooting your configuration, see the http://www.linux.com/learn/docs/ldp/592-linuxipv6-howto.

  • For more information about setting up and troubleshooting IPv6 networks, see http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsp/article.php/3634596, by Carla Schroder.

  • Use an IPv4 network address to ensure HP SUM can properly find the remote target server.

  • HP SUM can always be copied to the target servers and executed using the local installation method.
