The Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for UNIX and Linux software operates in IPv4, IPv6, and mixed environments.
The network configuration determines which protocol is used by the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager software. The acsd service listens for IPv4 and IPv6 connection requests. Connection requests to the acsd service are made for the addresses returned by the system for the respective port on the local host. Connection requests to other systems are made for the addresses specified by the user. When TCP/IP addresses are set from a command-line interface, or when setting configuration parameters using the setup script, IPv6 addresses are supported. When an IP address and a port are specified in the following format:
<IPv4 address>:<service or port>the format needs to be changed to the following format:
<service or port>@<IP address>When entering a dotted decimal IP4 address, the traditional format can be used.
