Afraid I haven't done the upgrade yet.

Previously you would have to have enabled it in resolv.conf
(inet6), the exception being some Linux packages of OpenSSH that
had IPv6 enabled by default.

So I'd start with man "resolv.conf" and check also
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions-ipv6, in the
absence of more current suggestions.
