I can not figure out what I need to do.
Apparently according to linode support, the VM is trying to grab an IPv6
address with some privacy stuff enabled by default causing it to not
grab the IPv6 address that is assigned to me.
Does the accepted answer at the following link give you any useful hints?

Cheers

Not really - I tried
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0
and it still fails to grab the proper IPv6
-=-
Just in case, I did ask Linode support to verify that my hardware address is
what it is suppose to be. Still waiting to hear on that.

it still is key=value ... it uses the ifcfg- files (via the rh
plugin) and they are all key=value
It would be helpful if you could paste the journal output (journalctl
-u NetworkManager) from the time period of attempting to get an
address ...
also the nmcli conn sh <connection_name> information for the interface
along with your ifcfg- files
ifcfg-lo is the only one that exists on any of the servers - including
the VMs that grab the correct IPv6 address.
from /sbin/ifconfig -a :
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

That hardware address - the 18:8a:7e corresponds with what the IPv6
address is suppose to be. But that's not the address it is grabbing,
despite the fact that net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0 is set.
I'm seriously wondering if the real issue is a mis-configured dhcp
server in their London facility because nothing makes sense.
journalctl -u NetworkManager
reports no journal entries found.
I think the problem must be on their end.
It all was working fine until they migrated the VM because of a hardware
issue, and I suspect now all the hardware address privacy stuff being
the issue is barking up the wrong tree because all the reading I have
done seems to indicate that with
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 0
that a fake temporary hardware address would not be sent to their dhcp
server when obtaining the address, but the real one, that should be
fetching my assigned address.
It's all very frustrating but I suspect now the problem isn't the CentOS
network configuration.
Five other servers all configured the same (started from same CentOS 7
image and network stuff left alone) work properly - so I don't know.
