Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-vm-builder
"vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --mac=00:16:3e:10:34:31" builds a VM with
resulting MAC "52:54:00:xx:xx:xx" : a "virsh dumpxml <vm> | grep
address" returns the latter address number, not the former. And the DHCP
leases file reports the same number.
If i provide the MAC address with hyphens instead of colons as
separator, i get a "malformed MAC address" error from the
preflight_check of post_install hook (like 25 mn in the game, out of 30
mn total, even though i have "tmpfs= -"), which indicates that the --mac
parm was not completely ignored (just partly ?) (looking at
/usr/share/pyshared/VMBuilder/plugins/network/__init__.py it looks like
it expects colons and nothing else)
I've tried enclosing the address in single quotes, just to be sure, but
i get the same result.
BTW, i invoke vmbuilder with the --verbose option, but do not get any
report on any MAC address, just a general "configure_networking" hook
running info msg.
I have, in the [kvm] section of ~/.vmbuilder.cfg, "bridge = br0", in case that
matters. The resulting XML shows
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:7f:93:28'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<target dev='vnet2'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
Also in the cfg file,
[DEFAULT]
arch = amd64
[ubuntu]
suite = lucid
flavour = server
(i have no idea what could go in the [kvm/ubuntu] section of this file)
