IPv6 Addresses Are Not Supported on Solaris 8 for Scalable Data Services

The section Public Networks in Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS states, “Sun Cluster software supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the public network, both for failover and scalable data services.” This statement is not correct for Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8. Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8 supports a failover data service to run on an IPv6 address, but does not support a scalable data service to run on an IPv6 address. Sun Cluster software for Solaris 8 continues to support IPv4 addresses for both failover and scalable data services.
