      $ virsh -c 'esx://root@[2620:52:0:49d4:ee2a:72ff:fe0a:7baa]/?no_verify=1' list --all
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: IP address lookup for host '2620:52:0:49d4:ee2a:72ff:fe0a:7baa' failed: Address family for hostname not supported

      This seems to be a problem with the ESX driver in libvirt because it only seems to support AF_INET (not AF_INET6). See:
