12.9 Installing RHEL on Administration Console Fails if IPv6 Is Disabled

By default IPv6 is enabled on RHEL 6.4. When IPv6 is partially disabled, eDirectory installation fails. You can disable IPv6 by adding the below entries to /etc/sysctl.conf file:

  • net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

  • net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1

Use the lsmod | grep ipv6 command to verify if some of the IPv6 modules are still running. If this command returns any output, proceed with the installation only after disabling it.
