Beginning with version 9.20, Bootable Media Creator supports
IPv6 addressing. This section provides information about enabling
IPv6 compatibility.
- Serial over LAN connections
- To use the Bootable Media Creator on
a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection in an IPv6 network, all of the following
criteria must be met:
- The Advanced Management Module (AMM) on the BladeCenter has
a firmware level that supports IPv6 with both Serial over LAN and
IPv6 enabled.
- The network connectivity between the SOL console and the BladeCenter uses
IPv6.
- Network connectivity for a file transfer in unattended mode has
been set up prior to establishing the SOL connection.
- Acquisition
- Bootable Media Creator can
perform acquisition over a direct LAN connection using IPv6.
- Bootable Media Creator can
perform acquisition and update the support list through a proxy server
with IPv6 enabled. Network connectivity from the proxy server to the
destination server is not restricted to IPv6.
- Connection test
- You can test connectivity from the HTTP Proxy page
of the Bootable Media Creator by
supplying an IPv6 address enclosed in brackets as shown here: [2002:325b:1000::97d:5a20].
- The IPv6 protocol stack is preinstalled on the system running Bootable Media Creator.
