IPv6 configuration

VMmanager supports IPv6 and may not use Ipv4 at all. IPv6 is supported both for accessing the control panel and for creating virtual machines.

Requirements for IPv6 :

• The networking bridge (normally it is vmbr0) must contain IPv6 address.
  • If the IP is specified on the primary network interface (by default eth0) before VMmanager is installed, it will be added to the network automatically;
  • otherwise, add the IP into the operating system's configuration files for the bridge /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vmbr0 and restart libvirtd:

service libvirtd-bin restart

• • Built-in ihttpd must be configured to support IPv6. At least one IPv6 must be sent to the STDOUT of the command:

  /usr/local/mgr5/sbin/ihttpd

  If the web-server is not configured, add the information about IPv6 into the configuration file /usr/local/mgr5/etc/ihttpd.conf

  listen { ip 2001:db8::ae21:ad12 port 1800 }

  Restart the web-server:

  service ihttpd restart 

  Make sure that the address is added to

  /usr/local/mgr5/sbin/ihttpd

• The name server supporting Ipv6 must be configured on all nodes. Make sure /etc/resolv.conf includes the nameserver section with IPv6. If not, configure it using instructions for your operating system.
