This bug is to provide the documentation note stating that IPv6 support is available **only** for RHHI-V environments and
**not** for general/stand-alone RHGS environments

Hi Anjana,

Please add the below note under section 6.1.3 in administration guide as a 3rd bullet point.

<snippet>
Clients should be on the same version as the server, and at least on the version
immediately previous to the server version. For Red Hat Gluster Storage 3.4, the
recommended native client version should either be 3.4 or 3.3.z. For other
versions, see Section 6.1, “Native Client”.

Server names selected during volume creation should be resolvable in the client
machine. Use appropriate /etc/hosts entries, or a DNS server to resolve
server names to IP addresses

IPv6 support is available only for RHHI-V environments and not for RHGS standalone environments

Hi Anjana,

IPV6 support only exists for Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure and that
detail is in the place, where the volumes are mounted.

This information should be there in the initial chapters.
It would be useful to have this note at the very beginning of 'chapter 3 - Considerations for Red Hat Gluster Storage'
and make it clear, that IPV6 is not supported for RHGS standalone deployments, but for RHHI
