Command limitations on appliances that are not configured

About IPv4-IPv6-based network support

Before an appliance can be managed, it must first be configured. The commands
that are used for initial configuration are the only valid commands that can be
executed on a new appliance, or a factory reset appliance. Commands other than
those used for the initial configuration can exhibit unexpected or undesired behavior.
To prevent this situation, Veritas recommends that you avoid using any management
commands until after the appliance initial configuration has been completed.
For information on valid commands for appliances that are not configured, refer to
the following documents:
NetBackup Appliance Initial Configuration Guide
NetBackup Appliance Commands Reference Guide
The NetBackup Appliance is supported on a dual stack IPv4-IPv6 network and can
communicate with IPv6 clients for backups and restores. You can assign an IPv6
address to an appliance, configure DNS, and configure routing to include IPv6
based systems.
Either the NetBackup Appliance Web Console or the NetBackup Appliance Shell
Menu can be used to enter the IPv4 and IPv6 address information.
Review the following considerations for IPv6 addresses:
NetBackup appliances do not support a pure IPv6 network. An IPv4 address

must be configured for the appliance, otherwise the initial configuration (which

For example, suppose that you want to set the
v46. To do that, first make sure that the specific host has at least one IPv4
address and then run the following command:
Main_Menu > Network > Hostname set v46

scope. Global-scope and unique-local addresses are both treated as global
addresses by the host.
Global-scope IP addresses refer to the addresses that are globally routable.
Unique-local addresses are treated as global.
