[Starlingx-discuss] Looking a command that changes Virtual host node MAC Addr.

[Michel Thebeau]

Hi Fernando,

It sounds like you will need to update the automation in either choice
you make.  I have also been persisting my hosts' configurations,
including the mac-addresses, so that I can power-off and even "destroy"
the virtual machine.  That's an option you may consider, either by not
running virsh destroy command or by using the virsh dumpxml command.

M

$ sudo virsh dumpxml controller-0 | grep "mac.address"
      <mac address='52:54:00:12:7a:8f'/>
      <mac address='52:54:00:ff:74:ba'/>
      <mac address='52:54:00:6f:7f:21'/>
      <mac address='52:54:00:d4:26:c1'/>
