NetBackup IPv6 parameter required for backups in VMware IPv6 environments

For backups and restores of VMware virtual machines in an IPv6 environment, you must configure the IPv6 support on the following NetBackup hosts:

  • The primary server

  • The backup host

The Both IPv4 and IPv6 option of the Use the IP address family support host property configures IPv6 support. This host property is located in the Network settings host properties.

If the NetBackup primary server and the backup host are the same host, configure the support on that host only. If the NetBackup primary server and the backup host are separate hosts, configure the support on each host.

For more information see the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
