system that receives the platform event alerts
To configure the trap destination address for IPv6:
racadm config -g cfgIpmiPetIpv6 -o cfgIpmiPetIpv6AlertDestIPAddr -i
[index] [IP-address]
where [index] is the trap destination index and [IP-address] is the destination IP address of the
system that receives the platform event alerts
