Hi all,
I added a new nic on all my vms, but the MAC address pool was too small. So
I extended it from 00:1a:4a:22:1f:00 to 00:1a:4a:22:1f:ff =>
00:1a:4a:22:1e:00 to 00:1a:4a:22:1f:ff.
It was okay but when rebooting some vms, nics are interverted and I couldn't
join my vm on ip!
I noticed nics were ordered now from the smallest MAC address to the
greatest one, so the last plugged nic from the new pool was now the first in
the vm, and all nics were moved at the bottom.
Is it an expected behaviour?
No. As far as I recall, and Yevgeny can add more details, reordering
of vNICs happens only when allocating multiple nics in the initial
definition of a VM; but not on plugging of a nic to an existing VM.
Which version of ovirt-engine do you use?
