      This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-14121. The following is the description of the original issue:

      Description of problem:

      When doing an IPV6 only agent based installer on bare metal this fails if the RendezvousIP value is not canonical. 

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      OCP 4.12

      How reproducible:

      Every time.

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Configure the agent through agen-config.yaml for an IPV6 only install.
      2. Set to something that is correct, but not canonical: 
         for example: rendezvousIP: 2a00:8a00:4000:020c:0000:0000:0018:143c 
      3. Generate discovery iso and boot nodes. 

      Actual results:

      Installation fails because the set-node-zero.sh script fails to discover that it is running on node zero.

      Expected results:

      Installation completes. 

      Additional info:

      The code that detects wether a host is node-zero uses this:
      
      is_rendezvous_host=$(ip -j address | jq "[.[].addr_info] | flatten | map(.local==\"$NODE_ZERO_IP\") | any")
      
      This fails in unexpected ways with IPV6 that are not canonical, as the output of ip address is always canonical, but in this case the value for $NODE_ZERO_IP wasn't. 
      We did test this on the node itself: 
      
      [root@slabnode2290 bin]# ip -j address | jq '[.[].addr_info] | flatten | map(.local=="2a00:8a00:4000:020c:0000:0000:0018:143c") | any' 
      false
      
      [root@slabnode2290 bin]# ip -j address | jq '[.[].addr_info] | flatten | map(.local=="2a00:8a00:4000:20c::18:143c") | any'
      true
      
      A solution may be to use a tool like ipcalc, once available, to do this test and make it less strict. In the mean time a note in the docs would be a good idea.
