Clone Windows with Single NIC, Invalid Subnet Mask with IPv6

[oendelm]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a new vm based on the workflow Clone Windows with Single Nic. All works good with IPv4, but when I try to use IPv6 at the new vm I'm getting the error at vCenter that the subnet mask is invalid. Is there something that I need to set to use IPv6? What is the correct format to set the subnet?

thanks!

Possibly you are hitting the same issue mentioned on KB Cloned virtual machines that has an IPv6 address keeps both addresses (2040850) ? Please also review the vSphere IPv6 Connectivity section - https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-6BC115DF-4EC5-4...

Hello,

The KB applys to vCenter 5.1. We are running a newer version of vCenter. I' ve found out that there is an attribute IPV6Spec from the object VcCustomizationIPSettings used at the workflow where the IPv6 configurations should be set. But after changing the workflow I'm getting Fault.NicSettingMismatch.Summary error.

Any ideas?

It would be very good if someone of the vCO team could develop a Clone VM workflow with IPv6 to get as a start point.

thanks.
