Hi,

 Your setup shows
virbr2 and br0 both on the same network  2607:5300:60:1156::2/64 which
will cause issues with routing. This however must not affect the pinging
of link-local addresses

ON the virtual machine:
	ping -I <eth0> <link-local of server>
 must work.
If not
  check both side link-local addresses if they are set.

A quick way to check with "any-body on the segment please reply" is to
on virtual machine
ping6 -I <eth0>  ff02::1
You must see 2 addresses (one is your own link-local and the other is
the address on the server)

Example in my case is pasted (there are 4 machines):

$ ping6 -I n1 ff02::1
PING ff02::1(ff02::1) from fe80::2c3b:53ff:fea0:9d26 n1: 56 data bytes

If link-local address cannot be ping-ed then try pinging ::1.
