    4 Advanced topics Configuring IPv6 networks You can deploy to remote targets in IPv6-based networks for Windows and Linux target servers. Using HP SUM with IPv6 networks presents challenges for IT administrators. For Windows-based servers, to communicate with remote target servers, HP SUM uses either existing credentials or the user-provided user name and password to connect to the admin$ share.

  • Page 58: Configuring Ipv6 For Windows Server 2008

    IPv6 addresses can be passed to HP SUM in command line arguments or using the HP SUM user interface. In the HP SUM user interface, you can add a remote host on an IPv6 network by either entering the DNS name of the IPv6 target server or by selecting the IPv6 address button and entering the IPv6 address.

  • Page 59: Network Ports Used By Hp Sum

    The only current limitation of HP SUM in a Linux IPv6 environment is that all remote target Linux-based servers must have the iptables-ipv6 RPM file installed. You can find the file on the distribution media for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems. HP SUM uses this file to open a port in the IPv6 firewall to communicate with the Linux system that runs HP SUM.
