    Description

      Pushing patches to run sanity-lnet test with IPv6 which are working locally for me to maloo revealed that the IPv6 address setup is only local link (fe80:.....). These addresses are only visible to the local node so the more complex LNet test can't run. Also LNet ignores these addresses. Proper IPv6 addresses need to be setup.

            Comment [ Michael, I'm not an IPv6 expert, I was only passing on information given to me from another call on this topic.  I think the main interest for this ticket from James & Chris is that the test nodes have proper IPv6 addresses configured, and they can work out issues in the test script itself.

            I would suggest to use the most recent version of the IPv6 test patch.

            As for why Janitor is running tests on your patch, this is normal for all patches submitted to Gerrit. ]
