XCP-ng IPv6 dom0 alpha!

BenjiReis

Hi all!

After 4 months of effort we are very happy to provide a 1st test ISO with IPv6 support in XCP-ng dom0.

Read our devblog here: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2021/02/09/ipv6-in-xcp-ng/

The ISO is available here and the corresponding SHA is: 177eade2efa8b6c989847c970e5cab3e6eb24de5a2eef153a0fc422071f9234b.

Keep in mind this is a test ISO so do NOT use it in production and please report in this thread if you encounter any issue or if your tests are going well.

The devblog contains the known limitation of the ISO, updates will be provided in this thread when fixes and features are available.

I hope you'll have fun with it!

First update available!

The xsconsole rpm can be updated via: yum update --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=ipv6 xsconsole.

The issue fixed was that the DNS couldn't modified via XSConsole when configured in static IPv6, it's now possible.

Good news, ISCSI shared storage already works in IPv6 with no package update!

An update will be released in the coming weeks for NFS support in the IPv6 case!

Has anyone play with the ISO? Any kind of feedback is very welcomed!

Just realised the IPv6 rpm repo isn't configured in the ISO... ^^'

so just add:

[xcp-ng-ipv6]
name=XCP-ng IPv6 Repository
baseurl=http://mirrors.xcp-ng.org/8/8.2/ipv6/x86_64/ http://updates.xcp-ng.org/8/8.2/ipv6/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
repo_gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-xcpng

in /etc/yum.repo.d/xcp-ng.repo.

Maybe we should release another ISO after your latest fix is accepted in XAPI
