Configure the Service Manager server for IPv6

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

To configure the Service Manager server to use IPv6, specify an IPv6 address in the groupbindaddress parameter in the sm.ini file where the Service Manager server is installed. The following example shows a valid IPv6 address:

groupbindaddress:2620:0:a17:e006:1060:cb7b:590a:4388

Note If the groupbindaddress parameter is specified with an IPv6 address, Service Manager will listen for both IPv4/IPv6 addresses. If no value is specified, or if an IPv4 address is specified, Service Manager will listen only for IPv4 addresses.

Configure IPv6 for horizontally-scaled environments

Make sure that you configured Service Manager as described in the Configure the Service Manager server for IPv6 section. To configure IPv6 for horizontally scaled environments, you must also specify the following parameters on each horizontally scaled server:

Parameter	Value
groupbindaddress	Specify an IPv6 address in the `groupbindaddress` parameter in the `sm.ini` file where the Service Manager server is installed.
grouplicenseip	Set as the valid IPv6 or IPv4 address of the machine where the licenses are stored.
groupmcastaddress	By default, this parameter is set to `FF02::1` after the `groupbindaddress` parameter is specified. If needed, you can modify this parameter according to the following standard: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-addresses.xml#ipv6-multicast-addresses-1

Parameter

Value

groupbindaddress

Specify an IPv6 address in the groupbindaddress parameter in the sm.ini file where the Service Manager server is installed.

grouplicenseip

Set as the valid IPv6 or IPv4 address of the machine where the licenses are stored.

groupmcastaddress

By default, this parameter is set to FF02::1 after the groupbindaddress parameter is specified. If needed, you can modify this parameter according to the following standard: http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-addresses.xml#ipv6-multicast-addresses-1

Note All other configurations steps are the same as in an IPv4 environment.

Configure IPv6 for vertically-scaled environments

Make sure that you configured Service Manager as described in the Configure the Service Manager server for IPv6 section. To configure IPv6 for vertically-scaled environments, you must also specify the following variables:
