<html><body> Rick, Thank you for the confirm. We will use RHEL5 or RHEL5.1 to do this probing work, just as you said, <tt>once we can actually get to the NFS server using IPv6, the installation should proceed normally. I have searched by google for this NFS IPv6 support, it seems NFSv4 can support IPv6, but I only find the step by step guide for IPv4 configuration of NFS version4, and can not find how to configure IPv6 NFS server and client, do you know that? Thank you.</tt> Best Regards, ----------------------------- Sun Jing(孙靖) IBM China Software Development Laboratory Tel: (86-10) 82782244 ext.3625 E-mail: sjing@cn.ibm.com Address:5F Deshi Building No.9 Shangdi East Road Haidian District,Beijing City P.R.China 100085, P.R.China. <img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for Rick Stevens <rstevens@internap.com>">Rick Stevens <rstevens@internap.com> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td style="background-image:url(cid:2__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com); background-repeat: no-repeat; " width="40%"> <ul> <ul> <ul> <ul>Rick Stevens <rstevens@internap.com> Sent by: redhat-install-list-bounces@redhat.com 2007-11-03 04:27 <table border="1"> <tr valign="top"><td width="168" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div align="center">Please respond to Getting started with Red Hat Linux <redhat-install-list@redhat.com></div></td></tr> </table> </ul> </ul> </ul> </ul> </td><td width="60%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">To</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Getting started with Red Hat Linux <redhat-install-list@redhat.com></td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">cc</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="58" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> <div align="right">Subject</div></td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Re: Please help with the IPv6 installation support</td></tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="58"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""></td><td width="336"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:3__=C7BBF919DF8D20AD8f9e8a93df938@cn.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""></td></tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <tt>On Fri, 2007-11-02 at 10:06 +0800, Jing CDL Sun wrote: > Hi Rick, > > Thank you for your help, but I still have one questions about the > kickstart config file, > I can configure the NFS server by specifying "%ethX" at the end of the > IPv6 > address of the remote host, and except that, is there any other > different config in the > kickstart file to using IPv6 NFS network installation? It shouldn't. Once you can actually get to the NFS server using IPv6, the installation should proceed normally. All you're doing there is establishing the link to the spot where the data is. > Is that any related document that can guide me to do IPv6 NFS network > installation step by step? > if there is, then it is so GREAT! As I said, it should work just the same as a standard install, once you can actually "see" the NFS server over IPv6. > In addition, which release does RedHatEL begin to support IPv6 NFS > network installation? > then I can begin to probe them, thank you. I think RHEL4 update 0 was the first to fully support IPv6. If you just want to try installations and aren't worried about Red Hat support, you might want to try CentOS. It's essentially a "white box" version of RHEL (they grab the RHEL source RPMs, tweak them to remove Red Hat-branded items and recompile it). It's available free of charge from: </tt><tt><a href="http://www.centos.org">http://www.centos.org</a></tt><tt> Here's the relationship between RHEL releases and CentOS releases: RHEL CentOS ----------- ----------- 4 update 0 4.0 4 update 1 4.1 4 update 2 4.2 4 update 3 4.3 4 update 4 4.4 4 update 5 4.5 4 update 0 5.0 As far as documentation, the standard RHEL documents also work for CentOS.
