Fix name of DHCPV6C variable in ifcfg files
This is a *very* longstanding bug, which shows that nobody using DHCP
on IPv6 is using netcf - the name of the DHCPV6C variable was
incorrectly put in as DHCPV6 all the way back when the netcf package
was first written, and nobody noticed, until this bug was filed:
I can not reproduce it on below version:
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# rpm -q libvirt netcf
libvirt-0.10.2-49.el6.x86_64
netcf-0.2.4-2.el6.x86_64
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# cat eth1.xml
<interface type='ethernet' name='eth1'>
<start mode='none'/>
<mac address='00:1B:21:27:4E:CE'/>
<mtu size='1500'/>
<protocol family='ipv6'>
<dhcp/>
</protocol>
</interface>
<1> Using virsh iface-* cmds
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# virsh iface-define eth1.xml
Interface eth1 defined from eth1.xml
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# virsh iface-dumpxml eth1
<interface type='ethernet' name='eth1'>
<start mode='none'/>
<mac address='00:1B:21:27:4E:CE'/>
<mtu size='1500'/>
<protocol family='ipv6'>
<dhcp/>
</protocol>
</interface>
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:1B:21:27:4E:CE
ONBOOT=no
MTU=1500
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=yes
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# virsh iface-undefine eth1
Interface eth1 undefined
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
cat: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1: No such file or directory
<2> Using ncftool
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# ncftool define eth1.xml
Defined interface eth1
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:1B:21:27:4E:CE
ONBOOT=no
MTU=1500
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
DHCPV6C=yes
[root@intel-e31225-8-3 ~]# ncftool dumpxml eth1
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<interface type="ethernet" name="eth1">

We can get expected results, move to Verified.

Description of problem: libvirt should emit DHCPV6C to ifcfg-* files for ipv6 family， rather than "DHCPV6" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netcf-0.2.4-1.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2-38.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: [root@rhel6 ~]# virsh iface-dumpxml eth1 <interface type='ethernet' name='eth1'> <start mode='none'/> <mac address='00:1B:21:27:4E:CE'/> <mtu size='1500'/> <protocol family='ipv6'> <dhcp/> </protocol> </interface> [root@rhel6 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:1B:21:27:4E:CE ONBOOT=no MTU=1500 IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=no DHCPV6=yes Actual results: As shown above steps, libvirt pass a incorrect "DHCPV6" to ifcfg-eth1.
