You need a IPv6-enabled installation (no need to resolve anything to IPv6 or proper IPv6 routing, or something, just IPv6 addresses configured). [root@myhostname ~]# export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=fd00::1 [root@myhostname ~]# export ERL_INETRC=/tmp/inetrc [root@myhostname ~]# echo "{inet6, true}." > /tmp/inetrc Before applying patch: [root@myhostname ~]# erl -sname foo -proto_dist inet6_tcp (foo@myhostname)1> erl_epmd:port_please(foo,myhostname). noport ^^^ This won't let RabbitMQ (or any other Erlang application to form a cluster). After applying patch: (foo@myhostname)1> erl_epmd:port_please(foo,myhostname). {port,35113,5} So it will return proper port after we switch to IPv6.
