Subject: [PATCH] tools: hv: kvp_daemon: make IPv6-only-injection work
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 04:01:29 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418126489-20627-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com> (raw)
Currently IPv6-only-injection doesn't work because the daemon doesn't parse
any IPv6 information at all once it finds the dhcp_enabled flag is true.
But according to the Hyper-v host team, the flag is only for IPv4.
In the case the host only injects 1 IPv6 address, the dhcp flag is true, but
we shouldn't ignore the IPv6 address and we should pass BOOTPROTO=none
to the distro-specific script hv_set_ipconfig.
Tested in Ubuntu 14.10 and RHEL7.
