Network Configuration; Network Configuration List - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

Network configuration

The StoreOnce System supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address protocols. IPv4 is available for all target
devices except VTL libraries and for appliance management; IPv6 is supported for StoreOnce Catalyst
stores, NFS shares, VTL libraries, and appliance management.
IMPORTANT: Active Directory authentication with IPv6 is only supported with Domain Controllers
configured using IPv6 exclusively. If the Domain Controller is configured with both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses, the StoreOnce appliance will default to IPv4 to join the AD domain.
IMPORTANT: Data in Flight Encryption is not supported for IPv6 subnets. In the StoreOnce
Management Console, you will not see the Encryption Links section if an IPv6 subnet is selected. In
the StoreOnce CLI, a configuration command will fail if you attempt to configure Data in Flight
Encryption on an IPv6 subnet.
Data in Flight Encryption is intended to be used to secure network links between data centers for
StoreOnce VTL or NAS Replication, or for Low Bandwidth Catalyst Copy operations. Using Data In
Flight Encryption for direct backup operations to the StoreOnce appliance over a local network is
not supported due to the performance impact of the encryption.
