Enable both IPv4 and IPv6 support
1 Configure the parameter LSF_ENABLE_SUPPORT_IPV6=Y in lsf.conf.
Configure hosts for IPv6
Follow the steps in this procedure if you do not have an IPv6-enabled DNS server
or an IPv6-enabled router. IPv6 is supported on some linux2.4 kernels and on all
linux2.6 kernels.
1 Configure the kernel.
a Does the entry
/proc/net/if_inet6 exist?
◆ If yes, the kernel is already configured for IPv6. Go to step 2.
◆ If no, go to step b.
b To load the IPv6 module into the kernel, execute the following command
as root:
modprobe ipv6
c To check that the module loaded correctly, execute the command
lsmod | grep -w ’ipv6’
2 Add an IPv6 address to the host by executing the following command as root:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 3ffe:ffff:0:f101::2/64
3 Display the IPv6 address using ifconfig.
4 Repeat step 1 through step 3 for other hosts in the cluster.
5 To configure IPv6 networking, add the addresses for all IPv6 hosts to
/etc/hosts on each host.
NOTE: For IPv6 networking, hosts must be on the same subnet.
