Link-local IPv6 addresses are not supported

Use Global addresses instead of link-local addresses.

Link-local addresses are ambiguous and cannot be used by HCL VersionVault to resolve link-local IPv6 addresses. VersionVault relies on host name and address translation APIs. These standard APIs do not provide adequate information to VersionVault for link-local IPv6 addresses. Global addresses are not ambiguous. The host name API provides the information required for HCL VersionVault to use these addresses. Set up your DNS and hosts tables to return global IPv6 addresses for your VersionVault nodes.
