I'm not sure I understand what you describe nor what your question is. I can't see ping6 stopped. What I infer from your samples is that you add an IPv6 address on two different nodes (mindlanf-6 and mindnic-02). Deleting it from one node will keep the ping6 running, in accordance with what we see.

I am not deleting ipv6 adress, once we issue ping command from one client after some time automatically ip will be erased from that interface and ping will stop.

Not much of ipv6 experience i have, but here are some thoughts:

You are setting an IP manualy, have you disabled dhcp?
You are setting a 2nd ipv6 adress to your device.
Code:
          inet6 addr: fe80::207:43ff:fe05:aa29/64 Scope:Link
          inet6 addr: 7878:12::10/64 Scope:Global

To my eyes, the ipv6 you are setting, seems invalid (quite too short).

I am not using any dhcp server here, I am assigning it statically.
same thing works for Redhat client but we are facing the issue on fedora OS
PHP Code:
inet6 addr: 7878:12::10/64 Scope:Global 
Its correct I.P,

is there anything which I need to enable..?
# 6  
Old 05-13-2015
You probably have duplicate addresses on the interface. You can force Linux to disable duplicate address detection:

Code:
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth4.accept_dad=0

# 7  
Old 05-14-2015
Code:
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth4.accept_dad=0



I tried adding this, but after 15 mins I.P is getting erased again..
