To validate that the IPv6 network is configured correctly for HP SUM support, you must verify the following based on your operating system version.
- Validate that you can ping the remote target server. With Windows operating systems, you can use the ping command to ping IPv6 addresses: 
- Ensure you can ping the IPv6 loopback address: 
- Use the DNS hostname instead of IPv6 address to ensure the address is correct. 
- Verify that you can connect to the admin$ share using the credentials within HP SUM by issuing the following command at a console prompt: - net use * \\<ipv6-address>.ipv6-literal.net\admin$ /user:<username>- net use * \\fec0::2.ipv6-literal.net\admin$ /user:administrator- You might need to provide the password if you use a user name that is different from the one you used to log in to the local system. All network shares require the use of the .ipv6-literal.net name string to be properly configured by Windows. - After you validate you can access the admin$ share on the remote target server, HP SUM works unless there are other network or hardware issues.
