Dear VMware community,
I have just installed VMware ESXi 7.0 to perform a PoC of running the hypervisor as well as VMs oIPv6-only network. Now I have come across the issue where when I start the virtual machine, the internal UEFI code just attempts to boot via IPv4: I only see >>Start PXE over IPv4 and not the typical >>Start PXE over IPv6.
Has the IPv6 code been omitted from ESXi UEFI boot code?
Is there a version of UEFI for ESXi which would enable this feature?
Or is there perhaps something I have missed in the ESXi configuration? (Note that the ESXi itself runs fine via IPv6-only access, so does any installed system such as Windows or Linux. It's just the UEFI boot code that lacks support for boot over an IPv6-only network.)
Thank you all for pointers on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Radek Zajic
