Disabling IPv6

If the configuration of your operating system supports both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols but you prefer to disable IPv6, you can do it by modifying the BMC Release Process Management start script.

To disable IPv6

1. Stop the BMC Release Process Management service.
2. Go to RLMhome/bin.
3. Save a backup copy for the start.bat or start.sh file.
4. Open the start.bat or start.sh file in the text editor.

5. Depending on the operating system, do the following: 

   • (Windows) Locate @echo | call "%EXECUTABLE%" and append the following line to it:

     <original-options> -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Addresses

     The entire line looks like the following:

     @echo | call "%EXECUTABLE%" <original-options> -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Addresses

   • (Linux or Solaris) Locate "$EXECUTABLE" and append the following line to it:
     
     <original-options> -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Addresses > /dev/null 2>&1 &
     

     The entire line looks like the following: 

     "$EXECUTABLE" <original-options> -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Addresses > /dev/null 2>&1 &

6. Save the file.

7. Start the BMC Release Process Management service.
