Description Miroslav Suchý 2011-12-14 16:26:14 UTC

We need to support rhn-client-tools (and registration to RHN Satellite) in enviroment where machine has IPv4 & IPv6 or IPv6 only address.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #743259 +++

rhn-client-tools: general hardware.py audit

    several places where we need to be IPv6 aware
    findHostByRoute() 
    read_network()

Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2012-01-04 14:17:27 UTC

Yet another commit is needed: 60b361bba52f028941c657eb4bef7fd41cb35a0c

Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-11 15:41:02 UTC

I will omit commit ea2d344fc0be493428ff2b9a1659e5c22b1ba5c8 by purpose to not create regression in behaviour.

Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2012-01-11 16:01:14 UTC

Cherry-picked as:
* d847c3a continue to search for the hostname if IPv6 is disabled
* f91ec9a 569790 - for scope on rhel5 do s/global/universe/
* 6b40627 IPv6: assign to hostname only if we are unable to resolve it
* 2c55ddd 743259 - take hostname of client instead of server
* ff3ea62 IPv6: IPv4 is most probably set up better, lets overwrite IPv6 values (if mismatch)
* 8011abf 743259 - initialize variable before use
* 41b1135 743259 - RHEL5 now has python-ethtool 0.6 - simplify code
* 316b651 743259 - get_ipv6_addresses does not return one item, but list
* 2311ed0 743259 - if IPv6 is not present, send empty string instead of None
* fe11192 743259 - send IPv6 addresses only if server support it
* b8bccc0 743259 - really send ipv6 address
* 6a0fcb6 743259 - findHostByRoute now returns both IPv4 and IPv6 and the same for Hardware class 
* f0a0c97 743259 - make findHostByRoute() IPv6 aware
