[lustre-discuss] Lnet and IPv6

[Oucharek, Doug S]

The situation depicted in those two links has not changed.  IPv6 is not supported by LNet due to the reasons given in the second link (i.e. it is a lot of work in multiple places).

Does anyone know if current Lustre code (let's say 2.8 and up) would work on an all IPv6 Ethernet Network ?  We found this presentation form 2015 (https://www.openfabrics.org/images/eventpresos/workshops2015/DevWorkshop/Wednesday/wednesday_05.pdf) which infers that server discovery in Lnet didn't work with IPv6 addresses (referencing another presentation from 2012 : http://cdn.opensfs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/LNET-Support-for-IPv6_LUG-2012_Isaac-Huang-Xyratex.pdf).  Is it still true? Does anyone have first hand experience with Lustre and IPv6 ?

Thank's for any pointers.
