If you created a deployment plan for the community server
and the system console supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, you
must map both addresses to the console's host name before installing
the community server.
About this task
Mapping IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the system console
host name allows the installation program, which does not support
IPv6 addressing, to retrieve the deployment plan by using the console's
IPv4 address.
Procedure
- Log on to the computer where you will install the community
server as a user with root or administrator privileges.
- Navigate to the directory containing the /etc/hosts file:
- AIX®, Linux™:
/etc/hosts
- Windows™: C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
- Add the following statements to the hosts file
to map the system console's IPv4 address and its IPv6 address to the
same host:
Explicit_IPv6_address Fully_qualified_host_name Short_name
Explicit_IPv4_address Fully_qualified_host_name Short_name
Where:
- Explicit_IPv6_address specifies the IPv6-formatted
address for the Sametime® System
Console.
- Explicit_IPv4_address specifies the IPv4-formatted
address for the Sametime System
Console.
- Fully_qualified_host_name specifies the fully
qualified host name (
server.domain) for the Sametime System Console.
This value is the same for both statements.
- Short_name specifies the short host name for
the Sametime System
Console. This value is the same for both statements.
Example:
2001:DB8:1:2:3:4:5:6 stsyscon.example.com stsyscon
192.0.2.10 stsyscon.example.com stsyscon
- Save and close the file.
- Restart the server before attempting to run the community
server installation program.
