IPv6 addresses can be passed to HP Smart Update Manager in command line arguments or using the HP
Smart Update Manager user interface. In the HP Smart Update Manager user interface, you can add a
remote host on an IPv6 network by either entering the DNS name of the IPv6 target server or by selecting
the IPv6 address button and entering the IPv6 address. HP Smart Update Manager supports both the
short-name and full IPv6 notation. You do not need to add the optional interface number when you enter
the address.
If you cannot connect to the target server or receive a Discovery failed message when executing HP Smart
Update Manager in an IPv6 environment, see the troubleshooting section ("
Troubleshooting HP Smart
Update Manager in IPv6 networks " on page 105 ).
After you connect to the target server, all other HP Smart Update Manager functions work identically. Log
files for IPv6 hosts are stored with all other HP Smart Update Manager files in the
/var/hp/log/ directories.
