the HP P6000 Control Panel. See the HP P6000 Control Panel User Guide.

You can also launch HP P6000 Command View from the HP P6000 Control Panel GUI.

Internet Protocol support

The HP P6000 Command View Suite is designed for use with internet protocols as follows:

Server-based versions 8.0.2 and later—IPv4, IPv6, and mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks

Server-based versions earlier than 8.0.2—IPv4 networks only

Array-based versions 10.1 and later—IPv4, IPv6, USGv6, and mixed IPv4/IPv6/USGv6
networks

Array-based versions 9.2 and later—IPv4, IPv6, and mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks

Array-based versions earlier than 9.2—IPv4 networks only

Internet Explorer 8.0 and later, or Mozilla FireFox 4.0 and later is required to access the HP
P6000 Command View Suite using the IPv6 address.

For server-based configurations, if IPv4 and IPv6 are installed on a single system, HP P6000
Command View starts on the IPv4 address by default. If you want to start HP P6000 Command
View on a specific address, you must add the address entry under the webserver section
of the cveva.cfg configuration file. For example, to start HP P6000 Command View on
IPv6, enter address 0::0 under the webserver section of cveva.cfg.

Using the IPv6 link local address to run the management server can result in connectivity issues.

For server-based systems, the management server is available on either the IPv4 or the IPv6
address only.

NOTE:

HP P6000 Performance Data Collector has the same behavior with IPv6 as HP P6000

Command View. To start HP P6000 Performance Data Collector on a specific IPv6 address, you
must add the evapdcs.address entry in the evaperf.conf file and specify the address.

IP address formats

IP addresses in IPv6 have a different format than IPv4.

IPv6 IP addresses are generally shown in eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated
by colons, for example, 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7334.

IPv4 IP address are generally shown in decimal notation, separated by dots (periods), for
example: 192.0.2.235.

IPv6 IP addresses with port numbers are enclosed in brackets to avoid confusion with port
numbers, for example:
https://[2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344]:443/.

IPv4 addresses with port number do not use brackets.
