Veritas NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide

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 master server

  • The backup host

The Both IPv4 and IPv6 option of the IP Address Family Support host property configures IPv6 support. The IP Address Family Support host property is on the Network Settings host properties dialog box.

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

For more information about the IP Address Family Support host property, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I:
