Found it. Depending on your infrastructure and even if you have only one network interface on your Linux ipmitool client, you have to specify the IPv6 address with the (correct) scope identifier:
root@ubuntu-hl:/home/v-hollie/bmc/ipmitool-1.8.11_MD5_SHA256# ./src/ipmitool -I
lan -H FE80::219:99FF:FE95:5FF4%eth1 -U admin -P admin mc info

Hi,
I modified the ipmitool sources to use getaddrinfo() instead of gethostbyname()
and it is still working for IPv4 and halfways for IPv6, but there is still
something missing.
The changes are the same I used for a Windows IPMI PowerControl program and
ipmitool works fine with these changes in a Cygwin environment with IPv6, but
not in native Linux (tested on Ubuntu and RHEL5).
The socket is listed as established and I verified the Get Channel Auth
Capabilities commands arrive correctly in the BMC, but I'm unable to
read/receive any IPv6 data sent back from the BMC (select times out).
Has anyone any other actual IPv6 UDP6 reference code or any other hints/advice
what might be missing?
Thanks in advance,
Holger

As an aside, anyone know if anyone in IPMI spec land is going to define those
lan parameters as a standard?
If not already in flight, I might start a patch to at least change UDP to UDP6
as possible for now.

Does anyone know if ipmitool plans on supporting IPV6 in the near future?
I realize that there are no IPMI commands to configure or query IPV6
parameters, but I would like to be able to establish RMCP and RMCP+ sessions
across IPV6.
Thanks.
