Internet Protocol Version 6

IPv6 Phase 1 Support

The PowerVault 124T autoloader now supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6 Phase 1).

Using IPv6 Phase 1 instead of or in addition to IPv4 does not affect autoloader functionality. However, setting up network configuration is different

for IPv6 Phase 1.

With both IPv4 and IPv6 Phase 1 enabled, the autoloader responds to remote access using the IP protocol received. A Link local address is

configured by the autoloader at boot time.

Internet Explorer does not recognize the IPv6 Phase 1 syntax. To access the Remote Management Unit (RMU) of the autoloader using an IPv6

Phase 1 address from Internet Explorer, you must do one of the following:

Option 1 - Use IPv6 address FE80::2E0:9EFF:FE0D:D7CE as an example of an RMU address. Enter the address into the address bar but

replace all occurrences of ":" with "-" and add "s6.ipv6-literal.net", where the number 6 after the letter s indicates your local system’s IPv6

Zone ID. You can determine your Zone ID number by opening a command prompt window and entering the command ipconfig. This command

returns information specific to your local system’s addresses.

Option 2 - Modify the system’s hostname file to translate the IPv6 address.

Option 3 - Use an IPv6-enabled server.
