Since we're running out of IPv4 addresses, the next obvious thing is to do pure IPv6 out-of-band networks.

It appears that an IPv6 address cannot be specified in the dev argument in conman.conf.

CONSOLE name="foo" dev="ipmi:[XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:aabb:fcff:fe0a:0bfc]" ipmiopts="U:admin,P:admin"

gives INFO: Unable to create IPMI context for [foo]

Nor does conman work if the console only has an AAAA record.

CONSOLE name="foo" dev="ipmi:foo.domain.com" ipmiopts="U:admin,P:admin"

gives: INFO: Unable to connect to <foo.domain.com> via IPMI for [foo]: hostname invalid

Yeah, IPv6 support should go in the next release.

FreeIPMI 1.6.1 added support for IPv6 hostnames.
