Description Jeffrey Cutter 2016-11-01 22:10:16 UTC
Description of problem:

CloudForms/ManageIQ does not appear to allow for assigning IPv6 addresses into VMware VMs as set_nic_settings does not work with IPv6 addresses in the ip_addr field and there are no ipv6 equivalent fields defined in collect_nic_settings in models/manageiq/providers/vmware/infra_manager/provision/customization.rb.

    [:dns_domain, :dns_servers, :sysprep_netbios_mode, :wins_servers, :addr_mode,
     :gateway, :subnet_mask, :ip_addr].each { |key| nic[key] = options[key] }

There is an option in CustomizationIPSettings for an ipv6 address, ipV6Spec which is a CustomizationIPSettingsIpV6AddressSpec (have to love the names).  This was added in vSphere 4.0, defined here http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.customization.IPSettings.IpV6AddressSpec.html

This shouldn't be too difficult to add to the VMware code, I'll reach out if I need help adding anything further up in the provision code.

Assigning to PM for prioritization

Comment 5 Loic Avenel 2019-01-22 12:23:47 UTC
Will be revise when Market will move to IPv6
