Dear Mr. Sivakoti,

Use following sap recommended prerequisites. 

1. Use the  latest version of SAPinst from SAP Service Marketplace.

2. Apply SAP note 1346768 and set the enviroment variable "SAP_IPv6_ACTIVE=1". Restart the       SAP services.

3. Update SAP kernel as per note 1690601.

4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux :            The use of RHEL5. 3 or higher is required for the use of IPv6, because this version supported a series of error corrections in IPv6.

5. SUSE Linux:    You are required to use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Support Package 2 at least.

6. Configuring IPv6 address selection

In case the default IPv6 address selection described in RFC3484 does not match your setup, it can be configured in /etc/gai.conf, the getaddrinfo(3) configuration file. The format of the file is described in its man page ("man 5 gai.conf").

Above Recommendation are available in Note 1346768 in details.

Kind rgds,

Hi Sivakoti,

Please refer following SAP notes

Note 1771226 - Installations on Linux with IPv6

Note 1346768 - Activating IP Version 6 (IPv6) on AS ABAP

Hope this helps.

Has a DNS entry already been setup for your system?

A simple test would be to edit the host file and assign 'sapspi6' to the non loopback IPv6 address.

Also have you verified that you have a IPv6 address?
