Either the NetBackup Appliance Web Console or the NetBackup Appliance Shell
Menu can be used to enter the IPv4 and IPv6 address information.
Review the following considerations for IPv6 addresses:
NetBackup appliances do not support a pure IPv6 network. An IPv4 address
must be configured for the appliance, otherwise the initial configuration (which
requires the command hostname set) is not successful. For this command to
work, at least one IPv4 address is required.
For example, suppose that you want to set the hostname of a specific host to
v46. To do that, first make sure that the specific host has at least one IPv4
address and then run the following command:
Main_Menu > Network > Hostname set v46
Only global addresses can be used, not addresses with link-local or node-local
scope. Global-scope and unique-local addresses are both treated as global
addresses by the host.
Global-scope IP addresses refer to the addresses that are globally routable.
Unique-local addresses are treated as global.
You cannot use both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address in the same command. For
example, you cannot use Configure 9ffe::9 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.1. You
should use Configure 9ffe::46 64 9ffe::49 eth1.
Embedding the IPv4 address within an IPv6 address is not supported. For
example, you cannot use an address like 9ffe::10.23.1.5.
You can add an appliance media server to the master server if the IPv6 address
and the host name of the appliance media server are available.
For example, to add an appliance media server to the master server, enter the
IPv6 address of the appliance media server as follows:
Example:
Main > Network > Hosts add 9ffe::45 v45 v45
Main > Appliance > Add v45 <password>
You do not need to provide the IPv4 address of the appliance media server.
A pure IPv6 client is supported in the same way as in NetBackup.
You can enter only one IPv4 address for a network interface card (NIC) or bond.
However, you can enter multiple IPv6 addresses for a NIC or bond.
Network File System (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols
are supported over an IPv4 network on appliance. NFS or CIFS are not supported
on IPv6 networks.
The NetBackup client can now communicate with the media server appliance
over IPv6.
