How to reproduce
1. We always hit the error message "Error: The file /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd6 doesn't exist, check the dhcp server" when we run some dhcp related commands. This is not user friendly. Could we remove it?
xMN:~ # makedhcp -a
Error: The file /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd6 doesn't exist, check the dhcp server
xMN:~ # nodeset CN osimage=sles11.3-x86_64-netboot-compute
CN: netboot sles11.3-x86_64-compute
Error: The file /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd6 doesn't exist, check the dhcp server
Warning: No dynamic range specified for fd55:faaf:e1ab:336::/64. Hosts with no static address will receive no addresses on this subnet.
CN: Warning: Skipping DHCPv6 setup due to missing vpd.uuid information.
Discussion
It think this is because of this entry we put in the networks table with makenetworks, maybe this is the real problem.
"fd55:faaf:e1ab:336::/64","fd55:faaf:e1ab:336::/64","/64","eth1",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I just end up removing it.
SLES puts the configuration for ipv6 in a single file, /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd so the /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd6 file is not there. I added a check for the OS level
