----------------------------------------
rhelhost$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
rhelhost$ ifconfig eth0 | grep inet6
inet6 addr: fe80::1234:1234:1234:1234/64 Scope:Link
inet6 addr: fdf3:f194:7b0a:710e::34/64 Scope:Global
rhelhost$ facter | grep ^ipaddress6
ipaddress6 => fdf3:f194:7b0a:710e::34
rhelhost$
fc18host$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
fc18host$ ifconfig p2p1 | grep inet6
inet6 fdf3:f194:7b0a:710e::50 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
inet6 fe80::4321:4321:4321:4321 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
fc18host$ facter | grep ^ipaddress6
fc18host$
The code in /usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/ipaddress6.rb
searches for the IPv6 address after 'inet6 addr:' which does not
work on FC18 where the address follows (just) 'inet6'
fc18host$ cat /usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/ipaddress6.rb
[...]
Facter.add(:ipaddress6) do
confine :kernel => :linux
setcode do
output = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/sbin/ifconfig 2>/dev/null')
get_address_after_token(output, 'inet6 addr:')
end
end
[...]
fc18host$
A possible fix is to use /sbin/ip, if available. The following
works for me:
Facter.add(:ipaddress6) do
confine :kernel => :linux
if File.executable?("/sbin/ip")
# use /sbin/ip
output = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/sbin/ip -family inet6 address list
2>/dev/null')
output = get_address_after_token(output, 'inet6')
setcode do
output
end
else
# use /sbin/ifconfig
setcode do
output = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('/sbin/ifconfig 2>/dev/null')
get_address_after_token(output, 'inet6 addr:')
end
end
end
