Settings for various network configurations

2-2-1 Network settings
If you set up the configuration shown in Figure 2-1, set up routers, the management client, and the
management server so that the following devices can communicate with each other as shown by
the arrows in the figure:
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 and the computer used for web client
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, and the server computer on which Device Manager has been
installed (the server computer whose IP address is 10.0.0.100 in the figure)
2-2-2 Settings for the Device Manager server
When you use a Device Manager property to specify an IP address, specify the IP address of the
NIC that belongs to the network to which the management client connects.
For example, in the configuration in
Figure 2-1, for the server.http.host property, specify the IP
address of the computer on which the web server function of Device Manager is used:
server.http.host=10.0.0.100
2-3 Settings required to operate in an IPv6
environment
This section describes the settings required to use Device Manager in an IPv6 environment. For
details about the OSs that support Device Manager server operations in IPv6 environments, see
section
1-3 .
2-3-1 Limitations on operations in an IPv6 environment
Note the following limitations when you use Device Manager in an IPv6 environment:
Set up the OS so that both IPv6 and IPv4 can be used because, even if IPv6 is being used,
IPv4 is also required for processing in the product.
When specifying the IP address or host name of the Device Manager server, HP recommends
that you use the host name. If you specify an IPv6 address, in Internet Explorer 6 you might not
be able to connect to the Device Manager server or move from window to window.
You can only use global addresses as IPv6 addresses. Global-unique local addresses, (site-
local addresses, )and link-local addresses cannot be used.
2-3-2 Settings for linking with storage subsystems that
support IPv6
If you use Physical View of XP24000/XP20000 managed by using IPv6 addresses, set either of the
following values for the server.http.host property in the server.properties file:
The IPv6 address of the computer on which the Device Manager server is installed
The host name of the computer on which the Device Manager server is installed
*
*
The host name must be resolvable to the IPv6 address.
For details on how to set the server.http.host property, see section
A-2-1.
CAUTION: If a storage subsystem that supports IPv6 is used with an XP24000/XP20000 or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 that is managed by using IPv4 addresses, in the
server.http.host property you need to set an IPv4 address for any NIC for which an IPv6
address is specified.
