IPv6 support information for NetBackup 8.1.1
NetBackup does not support the use of IPv6 addresses (for example: 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348) where you are able to specify a host name. If a host name is required, NetBackup does not support the use of an IPv6 address, even though host names can resolve to IPv6 addresses through DNS, local hosts files, or other means. This rule remains true even though host names can resolve to IPv6 addresses through DNS, local hosts files, or other means. Not all NetBackup commands and options accept IPv6 addresses. See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for release 8.1.1 for details about IPv6 support for specific commands.
Note:
More information about IPv6 support limitations is available in the following article. It contains important notes and recommendations that you need to know before you configure IPv6 in your NetBackup environment:
