IPv6 support

For IPv6 networks, the following is supported:

Types of addresses

The following types of IPv6 addresses are supported:

  • Unicast addresses: Only Global Unicast and Unique Local Unicast addresses are supported.

  • Automatic configuration: Only Stateless IPv6 address configuration is supported. In stateless mode, the IP address is configured automatically based on router advertisements. The prefix must be advertised.

LLT over UDP

LLT over UDP is supported on both IPv4 and IPv6.

You can use the Cluster Configuration Wizard (VCW) to configure LLT over UDP over IPv6.

VCS agents, wizards, and other components

VCS agents that require an IP address attribute and wizards that configure or discover IP addresses now support IPv6 addresses (of the type described above).

The Veritas High Availability Engine (HAD) and the Global Cluster resource (WAC) also support IPv6 addresses.

Note:

Support is limited to mixed mode (IPv4 and IPv6) network configurations only; a pure IPv6 environment is currently not supported.
