Enable IPv6 support
To enable IPv6 support, perform the following steps:
-
Specify your internal registry's Portworx operator image path in your Portworx operator spec. Replace the line
image: portworx/px-operator:<version_number>
in the generated Portworx operator spec with the path to your internal registry operator image. For example:image: <image_registry_hostname>/<repo_name>/<image_name>:<tag>
-
If your internal registry is password protected, create a secret to store the credentials, then specify the internal registry access info in the Portworx Storage Cluster spec. For example:
imagePullSecret: <secret_name>
customImageRegistry: <image_registry_hostname>/<repo_name> -
Specify the oci-monitor path in the internal registry. For example:
spec:
image: <image_registry_hostname>/<repo_name>/<image_name>:<tag> -
For dual network deployments, specify network configuration. For example:
network:
dataInterface: <interface_name_for_data_traffic>
mgmtInterface: <interface_name_for_mgmt_traffic>
