How to Manually Enable IPv6 Scalable Service Support

Before You Begin

Ensure that you have prepared all cluster nodes to run IPv6 services. These tasks include proper configuration of network interfaces, server/client application software, name services, and routing infrastructure. Failure to do so might result in unexpected failures of network applications. For more information, see your Solaris system-administration documentation for IPv6 services.

1. On each node, add the following entry to the /etc/system file.

   set cl_comm:ifk_disable_v6=0

2. On each node, enable IPv6 plumbing on the interconnect adapters.

   # /usr/cluster/lib/sc/config_ipv6

   The config_ipv6 utility brings up an IPv6 interface on all cluster interconnect adapters that have a link-local address. The utility enables proper forwarding of IPv6 scalable service packets over the interconnects.

   Alternately, you can reboot each cluster node to activate the configuration change.
