[ovirt-users] Feature Page: Mac Pool per DC

all you said is valid and code satisfies it, except for that free mac method. I cannot tell you the reasons behind this, but MacPollManager was designed to be able to work with MACs, but differentiate among them only inside. Client code cannot say neither "release this mac as a user specified mac" nor "add this mac as user specified one". Only "free this mac" and "add this mac". Responsibility of deciding is upon pool implementation. I do not think is a bad way, though.

There has to be something somewhere in the code.

What you can currently do in the released ovirt versions is:
assign a custom mac to a vm nic, which is not part of any configured
mac pool.

you can do this by hand through the gui (webadmin) or via REST /api call.

this must be possible in the future, for backwards compatibility.
and whats also a must: have the same mac pool ranges in different
DCs.
