Hi list,
I'm trying to provision systems with cobbler/pxe and am experiencing
a hard time as I don't know how to disable ipv6. The according section
of my kickstart file is as follows:
network --bootproto=static --hostname=foo.bar.tld --ip=192.168.27.21
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.27.1 --onboot=on --noipv6
--nameserver=192.168.27.11,192.168.137.11
though it clearly says --noipv6 and /etc/sysconfig/network has ipv6
disabled:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=foo.bar.tld
GATEWAY=192.168.27.1
the systems still comes with ipv6 enabled and sit0 is up and running
(and handling connections). Software versions are:
cobbler.noarch 1.2.9-1.el5
All the systems are CentOS 5.2. Can anyone point my nose to why
there's still ipv6 enabled?
TIA,
Frank.
You'd think disabling it for the interface would be sufficient, though
you could try booting with the kernel option "noipv6".
cobbler profile edit --name=foo --kopts="noipv6"
--kopts-post="noipv6"
... should take care of.
