Global Console
connections to the component applications in an
VMware Smart Assurance
system deployment.
When you start a
Global Console

can support IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. If the component applications in your deployment are identified by IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the

must reside on a host with an IP address that accepts that protocol version.
