NetBackup limitations when using IPv6 address as client name or image name
The following NetBackup limitations can occur if an IPv6 address is used as a client name or an image name:
Using IPv6 addresses as client names in a policy do not work with Instant recovery (IR) snapshots on Windows systems. That can cause a backup to fail. Specify a host name instead of an IPv6 address.
Image names are created automatically in NetBackup, and consist of a combination of the client name and a timestamp. If the client name is configured in the policy as the IPv6 address, the result is an image name (in the image catalog) that includes the IPv6 address. That causes the backup to fail.
Using IPv6 addresses as image names under the catalog do not work with Instant Recovery (IR) snapshots on Windows systems.
