General Requirements and Limitations
[For VM Agent integration] Backup infrastructure for storage snapshots has the following requirements and limitations:
IPv6 is supported for the following storage systems:
- Dell Unity XT/Unity, VNXe
- Fujitsu ETERNUS HX/AX (management connections only)
- Hitachi VSP
- HPE Primera, HPE Alletra 9000
- HPE 3PAR StoreServ (management connections only)
- IBM (all supported systems, management connections only)
- NEC Storage M Series (management connections only)
- NetApp (except 7-mode)
- Pure Storage FlashArray
If only management IPv6 connection is supported for a storage system, you can add this storage system to backup infrastructure using IPv6 address. However, all data traffic will be transferred over IPv4.
Note |
Temporary IPv6 addresses are not supported for backup infrastructure components and backed-up machines. For more information about using temporary addresses, see this RFC section. |
To use IPv6 addresses and resolve names using IPv6, configure IPv6 communication as described in IPv6 Support.
For Kerberos requirements and limitations, see Kerberos Authentication Requirements and Limitations.
