RHEV: VM lost IPv6 connectivity after upgrading hypervisor to RHEV-H7
Issue
- IPv6 does not work after upgrading from RHEV-H6 to RHEV-H7.
- Network connection fails in the VMs.
- Going back to RHEV-H6 makes IPv6 work again.
- Can only ping localhost (::1), ping to local IP-address and all other IPs doesn't work.
- IPv4 is disabled, only IPv6 is used in the VMs.
- IPv4 connection between RHEV-M and RHEV-H works.
- IPv6 DAD Fails.
- In a VM with no IPv6 communication, tentative dadfailed can be seen after the addresses when executing the ip -6 addr show command, as shown below:
#ip -6 addr show
inet6 ADDRESS/MASK scope global tentative dadfailed
inet6 LL-ADDRESS/64 scope link tentative dadfailed
