xen-4.4.0 and (nic) assigned mac address errors
21 jun 2014 greetings, i ran xen in several versions on my system during the past eighteen months. i currently run xen-4.4.0. i usually assign a specific mac address to the nic's in my vm domains. i take pains to NOT assign the same mac address twice. in all of these versions, if i shut down a vm and then restart it, it will sometimes complain that the specified mac address is already in use. it also sometimes happens if i merely reboot a vm via shutdown -r now. if i restart the vm a second time, it will usually begin operating as expected. what can cause this? how can i prevent this error condition? any questions, comments, or suggestions? thank you. frank smith -- http://www.fastmail.fm - One of many happy users: http://www.fastmail.fm/help/overview_quotes.html
