Error description

  • Product: Tivoli Network Manager
    Version: 3.9

    for IPv6 addresses.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
    * All ITNM 3.9 and 4.1 users.                                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * Some translations of IPv6 addresses to number form failed on *
    * little endian systems because ntohl() was used with 64-bit   *
    * values (it only supports 32-bit).                            *
    * User running on, say, linux on intel x86 (little endian)     *
    * encoutered the issue while big endian systems (e.g Solaris   *
    * on SPARC, or AIX on PowerPC) wouldn't hit the issue.         *
    * The end result was that the IPNUMBER and NETNUMBER values in *
    * NCIM's ipEndPoint table could be wrong.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    * Upgrade to | fix pack | 3.9.0-ITNMIP-FP0004                  *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • New method added, to calculate the NETNUMBER and IPNUMBER are
    for IPv6 addresses.
