Support for IPV6 based VM deployment | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi Team

Does Nutanix support IPV6 based VM deployments. Currently I am using Prism Central V3 API for deploying VM https://www.nutanix.dev/api_reference/apis/prism_v3.html#tag/vms/paths/~1vms/post

In the payload section it is mentioned that IPV4 support is only available now. 

If we want to do IPV6 based deployment, is there a workaround for that? 

Please share the document reference if IPV6 based VM deployment is not possible. If a workaround is there, please let me know how to do this.

 

Thanks

Hi there,

I’m not aware of a way to do this, even the v4 APIs are IPv4.

Good one to raise with your SE to flag up into product teams.

Are you looking to used integrated IPAM for distributing and managing IPv6 addresses as part of the deployment process?   That’s what that component of the api calls is designed for.   IPAM today only supports IPv4.

What I’ve done is create the VM via API, then once I have the mac address of the VM, I will then assign the mac to the IPv6 address in an external IPAM using DHCPv6, then boot the VM.
