HP-UX IPv6 Transport Administrator Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5992-6426, May 2013)

and start again with Flowchart 3.
B. Using DNS? If your name and IPv6 address resolution policy use DNS as the primary
resolver, go to C. Otherwise, proceed to E.
C. Can you add a Host Name to the DNS Server? Are you a DNS administrator? If
so, continue on to D, otherwise proceed to F.
D. Add Entry to DNS Server. Refer to the BIND 9.2.0 information in the HP-UX IP
Address and Client Management Administrator’s Guide for details (available at
http://docs.hp.com). Then retry Flowchart 2.
E. Add entry to /etc/hosts. If your name and IPv6 address resolution policy uses
/etc/hosts as the primary resolver, add a correct IPv6 address and host name
to the local /etc/hosts file. Then retry Flowchart 2.
F. Add entry to /etc/hosts and ensure that nsswitch.conf is configured properly. Add
a correct IPv6 address and host name to the local /etc/hosts file. Ensure that
your IPv6 address resolution policy, specified with theipnodes keyword in
/etc/nsswitch.conf includes using “files” ( /etc/hosts) in the policy. Then
retry Flowchart 2.
G. ping -f inet6 hostname. Test connectivity to the remote host using the ping command.
H. ping successful? If ping -f inet6 <hostname> succeeds using a host name
and IPv6 address from /etc/hosts, DNS needs updating, proceed to I. If ping
fails, examine the /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, and
/etc/nsswitch.conf files on both the local and remote hosts. If all look correct,
call your HP representative for help.
I. Work with DNS Administrator to add entry to DNS Server. When entry is added,
retry Flowchart 2 to ensure that DNS correctly resolves host names and IPv6
addresses.
