The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges: 00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff 'static' range (manually assigned) 00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff 'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client) Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static' range. 00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway. Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range. * docs/drvesx.html.in: update website accordingly * src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29 * src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address range handling and allow arbitrary MAC addresses * tests/vmx2xml*, tests/xml2vmx*: add some basic MAC address range tests
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.
