Dear oVirt

Would you be so kind to help out clarifying if and how is IPv6 supported with

-ansible / ovirt_vm / cloud-init boot protocol.

I have created a VM template which by default uses cloud-init with following:

When I boot the VM from UI, each VM gets IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 DHCP6 address, default cloud-init setup and we have infrastructure for both IPv4 and IPv6.

However, when calling same template via Ansible ovirt_vm, using following:

cloud_init_nics:                                                                                                |~

         - nic_name: eth0                                                                                                |~

           nic_boot_protocol: dhcp                                                                                       |~

           nic_on_boot: true

each VM receives only IPv4 DHCP and only IPv6 RA, but not DHCP IPv6.

Looking at booted VM, following options are not set:

• /etc/sysconfig/network => NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
• Or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 => DHCPV6C=yes and IPV6INIT=yes

We need IPv6 DHCP6 address , especially for registering it host with DNS AAAA record.

Is this supported? Am I doing it wrong way?

If its supported please let me know, how can I make sure that VMs created using Ansible also initialize DHCPV6.

Please assist.
