You can always set a new range of mac addresses using -=20
engine-config -g MacPoolRanges (to see the current range)=20
and then engine-config -s MacPoolRanges=3D<new range>=20

Which means that if you set up two oVirt systems independantly; one
for production and one for testing, you will get collisions?
