Doc Text:
Previously, Red Hat Virtualization Manager did not handle hosts added to it over an IPV6-only network. In the current release, you can use the Manager's Administration Portal and REST API to add and manage hosts over a statically configured IPV6-only network.

Description Michael Burman 2016-12-12 07:14:40 UTC
Description of problem:
[IPv6] - allow and enable management network with only ipv6 boot protocol.

Engine currently expect we set an ipv4 bootproto as well.

Cannot setup Networks. Role (migration/display/gluster) network 'aaa' hasn't boot protocol assigned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.0-0.2.master.20161210231201.git26a385e.el7.centos

How reproducible:
100

Comment 2 Dan Kenigsberg 2018-08-12 09:18:56 UTC
Moving to MODIFIED as nothing is left to be done on Engine side, and in 4.3 we are going to support only static ipv6 addresses when adding a new host.

Comment 3 Michael Burman 2018-08-21 07:34:00 UTC
Note for QE - 

- Test scenario will be - Add host with only IPv6 static address
- Enable dhcpv6 + autoconf on ovirtmgmt

Comment 4 Michael Burman 2018-10-17 11:40:01 UTC
We are blocked from testing this RFE 

1. No support for default route IPV6 - this leave the host in out-of-sync state for the ovirtmgmt bridge

2. Can't mount nfs with ipv6 address - do we have a bug for that?

Comment 5 Michael Burman 2018-10-17 11:56:58 UTC
Eitan, do we have a bug for nfs storage connection over IPV6?

Comment 15 eraviv 2019-04-07 08:21:10 UTC
Rolfe,

A caveat to the current doc text is that strictly speaking, the host deploy phase of adding a host to the manager requires an ipv4 configuration for the NIC on which it creates the initial management network. This is because it needs access to rpm repos which are only published on the ipv4 www. But after this phase completes and the host is 'up', the ipv4 configuration on any of the host networks can be set to 'none' and ipv6-only communication between the host and the manager is supported.

Thanks
