Hi,
I got some questions regarding the MAC-Range in the engine
and how to utilize the set custom mac feature via API:
We want to set a custom MAC per VM via REST-API (JSON)
The RSDL tells me, that this should be possible in general.
However, I have two questions:
Must the specified custom MAC be within the range defined in
engine?
I suppose not, as this range should just be a pool
to take MACs from when engine itself acquires one for a vm.
Also some users in IRC could use imported vms
with custom macs, but using REST might yield different results?
Does this work via JSON in ovirt-engine 3.3.2 ?
I just learned that the JSON implementation is not
feature complete until 3.4. so I wonder if I can use
JSON instead of XML to achieve this.
I can not wait for the 3.4. release anyway.
We had so far no problem with using JSON beside a nasty
Cloud-Init (documentation)bug (BZ 1045484)
and we don't want to rewrite all
our code to generate XML instead
of JSON if we can avoid it.

iiuc, with moving to support json, some property name changes will
happen (juan can provide more details).
as for the mac question - moti/mike/lior?

Your assumption is correct, you can provide either a mac address
from the pool or other.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far, Omer provided me already with an example
of the changed properties:
deleteProtected turns into delete_protected
is there a complete list somewhere?
this would be helpful to maintain our code and to prevent errors
when we upgrade to 3.4. somewhere in time.
Do these changes just occur for json or also for other APIs?

my understanding this is only for json - part of making it supported and
well behaved.

We are making this change in order to use exactly the same names in the
XML and JSON representations. The change only affects the JSON
representation, and it basically means that the names used in JSON will
use underscores to separate words instead of changes in case. For
example, instead of "deleteProtected" you will get
"delete_protected",
instead of "keyboardLayout" you will get "keyboard_layout", so on.
In general, if you want to know what will be the new name, you can look
at the current XML representation, the names used in the JSON
representation will be exactly the same.

Thanks for your clarification.
I forwarded this information to my devs.
