IPv6 postinstallation procedures
BMC Remedy Action Request System supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) network addresses. You can deploy BMC Remedy AR System servers in an IPv6 configured network and make them accessible to clients on IPv4, IPv6, or both IPv4 and IPv6 (dual stack) configured hosts.
IPv6 is an internet protocol that replaces IPv4. It expands the IP address space from 32-bit to 128-bit to significantly increase the number of available IP addresses. To comply with a United States of America federal mandate, the software products of government vendors must support operation on IPv6 networks.
Note
BMC Remedy AR System supports IPv6 for only version 8.1 and later releases.

IPv6 considerations with BMC Remedy AR System
If an IPv6 address is used for the mid tier server name, enter the URL for a form by enclosing the IPv6 address of the mid tier server in square brackets. Do not enclose the port number of the server within the brackets; for example:
http://[2001:db8:123:1234:a12:1b23:4c56:d7e8]:8080/arsys/forms/<ARSystemServer>/<formName>
For more information about using URLs to open forms, see URLs for opening forms and applications in BMC Remedy AR System documentation.
