Configure SolusVM/KVM Correctly

Hey guys,

I'm having a real hard time getting a SolusVM environment using KVM, setup to use IPv6 correctly.

The IP blocks have been added to SolusVM but the guest VM's are unable to ping out or have any kind of IPv6 connectivity although they are configured correctly.

I believe the host node(s) are misconfigured but I don't have enough IPv6 experience to properly investigate the issue.

Any assistance appreciated!

Thanks, Mike.

Are you able to ping out from the host node and can you ping the VPS's IPv6 addresses from the host node?

This is what I get when trying to ping out from the host node;

[root@mdh2 ~]# ping6 ipv6.google.com
connect: Network is unreachable

I have IPv6 working on the host now but when I try to ping a guest or ping out of the guest I get the following;

[root@mdh2 ~]# ping6 2001:1b40:5000:2e::9b56:8c09

I think its to do with the ebtables update, previously enabling ip/arp protection in solusvm disabled ipv6 as it had never been configured properly for Ipv6, the solusvm-ipsecure restart is needed to alow ip6 to work since the updates.
