Addendum to User’s Guide for the Dell PowerVault
TM
124T Autoloader
Purpose of This Document
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.
IPv6 Phase 1 Support
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.
Enabling IPv6 Phase 1
The PowerVault 124T autoloader is IPv6 Phase 1 enabled by default.
