Dell PowerVault 124T Addendum to User's Guide

This PowerVault 124T Autoloader release (V53) includes support for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6 Phase 1).

The

Dell PowerVault 124T User’s Guides

have not been updated for this release.

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.

The PowerVault 124T autoloader is IPv6 Phase 1 enabled by default.
