Enabling IPv6 communication
You can use IPv6 to set communication between the management client and the SVP.
You should assign the SVP the same type of IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) that are used on
the storage system. You must also conî ´gure the client computers with the same IP
version that you assign to the SVP
. In addition, use the same communication options for
both the management client and the SVP.
If you use IPv6 to display the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window when
both IPv4 and IPv6 are available, IPv6 addresses are displayed in the Device Manager -
Storage Navigator secondary window but IPv4 communication is actually used.
The following topics provide brief instructions on conî ´guring IPv6 communication.
Note: If the SVP uses IPv6, you must conî ´gure management clients to use
IPv6 for communication. Consult your oper
ating system's documentation for
instructions.
