HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Software v4.6 Install Guide (T1789-96096, July 2010)

NOTE:
• Both the XP Performance Advisor and host agents must communicate using the same protocol,
either IPv4 or IPv6.
• Enabling IPv6 in an IPv4 only environment, that is, on a management station configured with only
an IPv4 interface, does not make XP Performance Advisor unusable. In such cases, XP Performance
Advisor uses IPv4 as the communication protocol for all its communications.
• If Windows Vista is installed on the management station, you can enter the registered fully qualified
domain name or the IP address of the management station.
To enable IPv6 on your management station:
1. Click Enable IPv6.
2. In the text box that appears, enter the registered fully qualified domain name or IP address of
your management station.
If multiple LAN cards are configured in the management station, enter the IP address of your
corporate LAN.
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 50.

The Windows System Authentication and Windows Domain based Authentication are displayed in
the authentication list, only if your management station is part of a domain.
Click Next to configure the authentication settings for the selected authentication method. The
