Once again, what you're answering sounds unrelated to what I'm asking...
:) If you're creating two NICs at the same time (from the new VM
dialog), and oVirt uses the first free MAC address whenever it needs to
allocate one... Then it allocates MAC addresses according to the order
of the NICs, so nic0 would still always get a MAC address lower than
that of nic1.
Indeed.
To be precise, your question did not implied :
- two creations in a row, with no other user in between adding or
deleting some MAC
- it was a brand new and fresh VM
I'm sure I can find plenty of weird cases were the simplest way we ALL
understood from the start are not working the way we think.
But once again, THIS is not my point.
My point is : Once the MACs are allocated (whatever the way), how are
they mapped to tell which gets named net0, net1, aso...
