IPv6 networks are not enabled during cluster setup. A cluster administrator must enable IPv6 after cluster setup is complete to use IPv6 for SMB. When the cluster administrator enables IPv6, it is enabled for the entire cluster.

Step

  1. Enable IPv6: network options ipv6 modify -enabled true

    For more information about enabling IPv6 on the cluster and configuring IPv6 LIFs, see the Network Management Guide.

    IPv6 is enabled. IPv6 data LIFs for SMB access can be configured.
