Change Hosted Engine VM MAC address

Good morning, colleagues! Due some network issues I need to change HostedEngine VM MAC address. The additional diffeculty is unaccessebility of the HE Web-interface via the network (the cause of - those network issues -)). Is there any way to change the HE vNIC's MAC using command line (on the host where HE VM works or on the HE VM)? Thanks in advance, Sergei.

Hi, Temporary workaround: Find where the VM is running and ssh to that host.Alias virsh to 'virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf' Use hosted-enhine to power off the vm and set global maintenance.Then edit the local copy of the VM: virsh edit HostedEngineOnce MAC is changed , use virsh to start: virsh start HostedEngine Once it's up and running - check if you are allowed to make the change in the UI. Even if it's not ,the engine saves it's config regularly(wait a few days before shutting down via virsh and disabling global maintenance).
