Description Christian Elsen 2017-02-09 00:52:56 UTC

Description of problem: IPv6 address acquisition via DHCP is not possible. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.9_HVM_Beta-20161219-x86_64-2-Hourly2-GP2

How reproducible: 
Possible to use AWS with above AMI. Configure VPC for IPv6 first. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable IPv6 address acquisition via DHCPv6
1a. Add to /etc/sysconfig/network: 
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
1b. Add to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
IPV6INIT=yes
DHCPV6C=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
2. Restart network with "sudo service network restart"
3. Observe error message and that no IPv6 address was acquired. 

Actual results:
No IPv6 address acquired. 

Expected results:
Should acquire IPv6 address

Additional info:
Error is within the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth;
Line 327 needs to be changed from
if /sbin/dhclient “$DHCLIENTARGS”; then
to 
if /sbin/dhclient $DHCLIENTARGS; then

What version of initscripts do you use? This should be fixed in >= 9.03.57

Exactly as Lukáš says, this is already fixed for current RHEL-6.9 build. See:

Ahh, I hit the 'Save Changes' pre-maturely...
