Description of problem: Running appliance_console doesn't work when the appliance has an IPv6 address. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.5.0.12 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy appliance with IPv6 address on KVM host 2. Run appliance_console Actual results: /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/share/ruby/ipaddr.rb:430:in `mask!': invalid length (IPAddr::InvalidPrefixError) Expected results: The appliance_console menu shows up. Additional info: [root@localhost ~]# appliance_console /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/share/ruby/ipaddr.rb:430:in `mask!': invalid length (IPAddr::InvalidPrefixError) from /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/share/ruby/ipaddr.rb:157:in `mask' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:163:in `parse_ip4' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:48:in `reload' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:37:in `initialize' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface/network_interface_rh.rb:13:in `initialize' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:27:in `new' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:27:in `new' from /opt/rh/cfme-gemset/gems/linux_admin-0.12.1/lib/linux_admin/network_interface.rb:27:in `new' from /var/www/miq/vmdb/gems/pending/appliance_console.rb:99:in `<module:ApplianceConsole>' from /var/www/miq/vmdb/gems/pending/appliance_console.rb:98:in `<main>'
Here's the IP address coniguration on the VM: [root@cloudforms ~]# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:89:df:34 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 2000:dead:beef:a:5054:ff:fe89:df34/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 3440sec preferred_lft 3440sec inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe89:df34/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
This may be fixed as of https://github.com/ManageIQ/linux_admin/pull/141 which is included in version 0.13.0 of the linux_admin gem. I will retest this upstream. Because the version of linux_admin was bumped here https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/commit/3ba88b3c5ccfda4d6d6fe2bc8b5c96c17e827d94 this may already be fixed upstream and also downstream as the gemfile change was back-ported in this MR (http://gitlab.cloudforms.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/cloudforms/cfme/merge_requests/590)
Works in upstream nightly as of 2015-12-08
