Re: [ovirt-devel] IPv6 support in oVirt
Piotr,
According to our checks engine succeed connecting VDSM through ipv6 once
the work you've reminded has been done. So it looks like jsonrpc is
agnostic to IP layer it uses underneath.
Could you please elaborate on why do you think that we break backward
compatibility.
If you compare the wiki to vdsmapi-schema.json file, looks like the last
isn't updated for some time and needs to be updated according to the actual
code.
We add dhcpv6 in order to allow user to configure v6 stack independently
from v4 one. That could be useful especially in a transition period, when a
user have fully configured ipv4 and would like to try using ipv6 and he
hasn't configured his DHCP server for v6 yet.
Regards,
Yevgeny

Thank you for the effort.
I have 2 comments:
- In [1] I do not see any information about using ipv6 in jsonrpc
code. I know that there was some work done on vdsm [2]
side but nothing on the engine side.
- We are about to break some backward compatibility so I suggest to
define new type which would hold ipv4 or ipv6
information (vdsm api section) or if we want to keep the backward
compatibility we should reuse existing parameters
and prepare the code to handle both formats.
Why we are adding @dhcpv6? We do not have this setting for ipv4.
Thanks,
Piotr
