I am attempting to port the 7.1.2 BF agent to a new oss (HP Nonstop OSS). Its unix-like and claims to be POSIX. It is not based on linux or anything HP unix.

Anyway is there any sort of a porting guide or FAQ anywhere? For example the platform doesn't support IPV6 - and it looks like the agent requires IPV6.

I had sucessfuly ported the older 7.0.0 agent to this platform - but it looks like it's been almost entirely rewritten. Can the management Console for 7.1.2 work with a 7.0.0 agent?

Hi,

I'm not aware of a porting guide. I did find this page on the IBM site about agent backward compatibility.

I have several linux systems running the bf agent without the linux ipv6 module loaded. I also once built bfagent for my phone (Nokia N900 running maemo) just because I wanted to, and it did not have IPv6 enabled.

it does look like NonStop has autoconf, and bfagent uses autoconf, so you should be in good shape, or configure will tell you what you're missing.

Thank you for your answers.  Tried the autoconf - didn't work out so well since 'hp nonstop oss' isn't that well of a platform.
