VMware uses two MAC address prefixes: 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56. The 00:0c:29 prefix is used for ESX server generated addresses. The 00:50:56 prefix is split into two parts. MAC addresses above 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff are generated by a vCenter. The rest of the 00:50:56 prefix can be assigned manually. Any MAC address within the 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56 prefix can be specified in a domain XML config and the driver will handle the details internally. * src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address formatting * tests/xml2vmxdata/*: update test files accordingly
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
