Description Lukas Zapletal 2020-03-09 09:12:08 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1732765

I am copying this bug because:

Need to backport this into RHEL 8, Satellite 6 feature HTTP UEFI IPv6 provisining will be verified and tested workflow going forward. Thank you.

Hello,

I am trying to configure UEFI HTTP Boot over IPv6 with Grub2. Here is my dhcp config:

option dhcp6.bootfile-url code 59 = string;
option dhcp6.vendor-class code 16 = {integer 32, integer 16, string};

subnet6 2001:db8:f00f:cafe::/64 {
 range6 2001:db8:f00f:cafe::42:10 2001:db8:f00f:cafe::42:99;
 option dhcp6.bootfile-url "http://[2001:db8:f00f:cafe::1]/httpboot/grub2/grubx64.efi";
 option dhcp6.name-servers 2001:db8:f00f:cafe::1;
 option dhcp6.vendor-class 0 10 "HTTPClient";
}

Grub2 loads fine, loads configuration which is:

set default=0
set timeout=10
menuentry 'Kickstart default PXEGrub2' {
  linuxefi boot/centos-local-proxy-NpAPvFVIy69k-vmlinuz ks=http://sat66.nat.lan/unattended/provision?token=d716ee59-fabf-40f6-8b21-9a6a14c47c2e  network ksdevice=bootif ks.device=bootif BOOTIF=00-00-c0-3a-d1-01-8f kssendmac ks.sendmac inst.ks.sendmac BOOTIF=01-$net_default_mac
  initrdefi boot/centos-local-proxy-NpAPvFVIy69k-initrd.img
}

However after the timeout there is a network error. Depending on bootfile-url it's different:

For http://[2001:db8:f00f:cafe::1] I get: unrecognised network address '2001:db8:f00f:cafe::1', unsupported uefi http status code 0x11, fail to receive a reponse! status=104

For http://ipv6_only_hostname I get: unrecognised network address 'ipv6_only_hostname'

Is IPv6 supported in this scenario? Thanks.
