Conventions for specifying an IPv6 address in a class instance name

For the dmctl utility, if your class instance name contains either square brackets or double colons, you need to specify one of the following conventions:

• In dmctl command line mode, if the instance uses square brackets or double colons in its name, enclose the instance with single and double quotation marks. Here are two examples:

  MyClass::”’[2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0102:0304]’”
  MyClass::”’::instance’”
  

• In dmctl interactive mode, if the instance uses square brackets or double colons in its name, enclose the instance with either single or double quotation marks. Here are four examples:

  MyClass::’[2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0102:0304]’
  MyClass::”[2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0102:0304]”
  MyClass::’::instance’
  MyClass::”::instance”
