** Description changed: See also https://github.com/chu11/freeipmi-mirror/issues/8 and https://github.com/chu11/freeipmi-mirror/issues/12 -- freeipmi needs to successfully discover the ipv6 address of a hosts BMC. + + [Impact] + + * Machines with BMCs configured to use IPv6 addresses, ipmi-config + (silently) fails to show those values. + + * MAAS 2.2 supports IPv6 BMC addresses, and depends on ipmi-config + finding the IPv6 address of the BMC. + + * This upload is a backport of an upstream work-in-progress to add IPv6 + configuration parameters to ipmi-config. While the eventual upstream + source may differ slightly as the branch lands, this delivers the + information for use. ANYONE USING THIS CODE NEEDS TO BE PREPARED TO + CHANGE TO MATCH THE ACTUAL DELIVERY WHEN 1.6 LANDS. + + [Test Case] + + * Start with an HP DL360 Proliant Gen9 (iLO4 is required) with an IPv6 + address configured on the iLO. Try to get ipmi-config to give you + that address. + + * This upload introduces the Lan6_Conf section (which may change when + 1.6 finally arrives.) The following displays the IPv6 Addresses of + the BMC: + ipmi-config --checkout --category=core --section=Lan6_Conf + + [Regression Potential] + + * Scripting that uses --checkout and no section/key-pair specification + will now see the additional Lan6_Conf section, which has the potential + to confuse said script. + + * If upstream changes the presentation of the data, anyone who has + adopted this pre-release of same may see differences. The section is + clearly marked as subject to change in 1.6, and missing in 1.5. (If + Ubuntu syncs 1.5, MAAS is committed to porting this change forward. + Upstream has committed to the feature being present in 1.6.) + + [Other Info]
