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?

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.
