SnapMirror support for IPv6

SnapMirror supports the use of IPv6 addresses to specify source and destination systems. However, there are some differences between the specification of IPv6 and IPv4 addresses.

The SnapMirror commands that are affected by the support for IPv6 addresses are given in the following list:
Note: Before using IPv6 functionality for a system, ensure that the ip.v6.enable option is set to on.
When using an IPv6 address to specify a SnapMirror source or destination system, you need to enclose the IPv6 address within square brackets. The usage is shown in the following examples:

Use of IPv6 address with the snapmirror initialize command

systemB> snapmirror initialize -S [fd20:8b1e:b255:4166:2a0:98ff:fe07:23f3]:src_vol dst_vol

Use of IPv6 address in a snapmirror.conf file entry

[fd20:8b1e:b255:4166:2a0:98ff:fe07:23f3]:src_vol dst_system:dst_vol - 15 2 * *

Use of IPv6 addresses in a snapmirror.conf file entry for a multipath SnapMirror relationship

relation_1=multi(fd20:8b1e:b255:4166:2a0:98ff:fe07:23f3,dst_system)(2001:0:0:0:0:ffd3:0:57ab,dst_system)relation_1:src_vol dst_system:dst_vol - * * * *

Use of IPv6 address in the snapmirror.allow file

fd20:8b1e:b255:4166:2a0:98ff:fe07:23f3

Use of IPv6 address with the snapmirror.access option

When using an IPv6 address with the snapmirror.access option, it is optional to enclose the access specification within double quotes. The usage is shown in the following example.
systemB> options snapmirror.acess "host=fd20:8b1e:b255:4166:2a0:98ff:fe07:23f3"
