[Users] Set mic order on vm
In our setup I need to have eth0 set to a certain MAC address. When I add the three nics to a new vm, nic1 is not eth0. (ovirt starts with "nic1" as the first suggested name of the nic) Any ideas? Thanks! -Bret

It is the guest OS that is responsible for assigning the names of the interfaces. In Linux specifically it's udev that does it, so you might want to try writing a udev rule for that. Perhaps try following this guide (if it's Fedora 15+): https://alteeve.ca/w/Changing_Ethernet_Device_Names_in_EL7_and_Fedora_15%2B Or this guide (if it's RHEL6 or older Fedora): https://alteeve.ca/w/Changing_the_ethX_to_Ethernet_Device_Mapping_in_EL6_and...
Thanks!

something to consider ovirt-engine to provide the guest via the payload feature, so a cloud-init extension can take care of it out of the box.
Thanks!

1. What OS you have on the guest? 2. Did you create the VM from template? If the answer to 1 is Fedora/RHEL and the answer to 2 is yes, the following wiki page can help - http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Sealing_Linux_VM Livnat
Thanks!

1. CentOS 6.3 2. I didn't create from a template, but I will try that. Thanks for the wiki link. I'll take a look at it right now. -Bret On Oct 23, 2012, at 1:56 AM, Livnat Peer <lpeer@redhat.com> wrote:
