Deactivating IPv6 Features

You can administratively disable IPv6 features by doing the following:

1. Open the nms-jboss.properties file. Look in the following location:

   Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-jboss.properties

   Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-jboss.properties

   Note NNMi provides a complete description of each property, showing them as comments in the nms-jboss.properties file.

2. To deactivate IPv6 communication in NNMi:

   1. Locate the text that begins with # Enable Java IPv6 Communication.

   2. Locate the following line:

   3. java.net.preferIPv4Stack=false

   4. Edit the line to read as follows:

      java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

      Make sure the line is not commented.

3. To deactivate overall IPv6 management inNNMi:

   1. Locate the text that begins with # Enable NNMi IPv6 Management.

   2. Locate the following line:

      com.hp.nnm.enableIPv6Mgmt=true

   3. Edit the line to read as follows:

      com.hp.nnm.enableIPv6Mgmt=false

      Make sure the line is not commented.

   4. Save and close the nms-jboss.properties file.

4. Restart the NNMi management server.

   1. Run the ovstop command on theNNMimanagement server.

   2. Run the ovstart command on the NNMi management server.

      Note When making file changes under High Availability (HA), you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. If the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must put the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop and ovstart commands. See Maintenance Mode for more information.

5. Check theNNMi processes using the following command:

   ovstatus -v ovjboss
