Component: HPCA Agent

HPCA Agent can listen on IPv4 or IPv6 for Core and Satellite servers communications. The agent installation program automatically enables the agent to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks, if it detects an IPv6 stack is available. In default HPCA agent installation, IPv4 is searched first for all external communications. To change the default order, modify the install.ini before installing the HPCA Agent.

The install.ini file is used to customize the installation or the HPCA agent arguments file, or to create or set attributes for HPCA objects that are created after installing HPCA agent. Settings in install.ini override the defaults stored in HPCAE-MgmtApps.msi. You can create your own customized install.ini file. A sample install.ini is available in the \Setup-Core\Media\client\default\win32 directory on the HPCA Core media.

Set the following argument in the [Objects] section of the install.ini file:

ZMASTER_IPVER = 64

Value Description
4 The external communication will happen through IPv4.
6 The external communication will happen through IPv6.
46 HPCA agent will search for IPv4 first for external communication. If IPv4 is not found, the agent will search for IPv6. This the default behavior.
64 HPCA agent will search for IPv6 first for external communication. If IPv6 is not found, the agent will search for IPv4.
Note: ZMASTER_IPVER should be either 64 or 6 for the HPCA agent to connect to HPCA Server using IPV6 subnet.

Log Messages

To verify if the HPCA agent connects to the HPCA Core server using IPv6, check the connect.log file under <InstallDir>\Agent\logs

on the managed device.
