I have two hosts A and B that talk with IPv6. I have unplumbed all IPv4 interfaces from both systems.
I have modified /etc/nsswitch.conf file and updated /etc/hosts to include IPv6 addresses of A and B on both the systems. After this I restarted swagentd daemon.
Now when I run command
# swlist -l depot @ B
from host A, it just hangs.
Similarly, "swinstall -s B:/testdepot \* " also hangs.
Is it that sw* needs some configuration to work with IPv6?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
Yes the sw* commands must have networking working. And also name servers??

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
The systems A and B are accessible over IPv6 for other services like ssh, ping etc.
Is there a specific setting that I need to configure for sw* commands to work with IPv6?

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
I don't know that much. All I know is that machine A needs to be able to look up its own name. Does swlist with no option on A, hang too?

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
Did you start/stop the swagentd?
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start
--
I have modified /etc/nsswitch.conf file
--
Did You add the "ipnodes: files" entry?

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
ipnodes: files
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=continue] nis
As I said in my very first post, I restarted swagentd after these changes.
But it is still not working.

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
Try this configuration.
hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=continue] nis
ipnodes: files [NOTFOUND=continue] dns

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
I tried this configuration as well. But it is still not working. Basically swagentd on host A and B are not able to talk to each other when the mechanism is ONLY IPv6.
I can still ping/ssh these two machines from each other though.
Can someone please confirm if swinstall works in pure v6 environment?

Re: swinstall/swlist with IPv6
Just to check, did you also install the dependencies?

SolutionWhat I am not sure of is what support there is for IPv6 targets in a mixed environment. I will try and look into that (but I do not have an IPv6 network handy)
