Can you please describe how this situation was created? Are the related virtual NICs created in oVirt, or are they imported? Is it still possible to create duplicates, or do you have a backup of the db during this period? Can you please share the output of /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/engine-psql.sh -c "select vm_interface.mac_addr,vm_interface.vm_guid,vm_interface.name,vm_static.cluster_id,cluster.mac_pool_id,mac_pools.allow_duplicate_mac_addresses,mac_pool_ranges.from_mac,mac_pool_ranges.to_mac from (((( vm_interface left join vm_static on vm_interface.vm_guid = vm_static.vm_guid) left join cluster on vm_static.cluster_id = cluster.cluster_id) left join mac_pools on cluster.mac_pool_id = mac_pools.id) left join mac_pool_ranges on mac_pools.id = mac_pool_ranges.mac_pool_id) order by vm_interface.mac_addr;" and point us to the virtual NICs or VMs which contained the duplicated MACs? > For now I am simply going to create new mac pool for each of the clusters > and switch to it, hoping it's not going to affect existing VMs. > > This will affect only newly created virtual NICs. > Regarding planning, if I would have known, that same mac pool is created > across datacenters/clusters, I would have taken it into account. > Even the mac pool is shared, the mac addresses should be unique across all datacenters managed by a single oVirt Engine. > Relying on common sense, I just did not expect this to be the case, but to > my fault I should have applied trust-but-verify approach. > > > ----- > kind regards/met vriendelijke groeten > > Marko Vrgotic > Sr. System Engineer > > ActiveVideo > e: m.vrgo...@activevideo.com > > > On 26/01/2020, 07:45, "Yedidyah Bar David" <d...@redhat.com> wrote: > > On Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 2:30 PM Vrgotic, Marko > <m.vrgo...@activevideo.com> wrote: > > > > Hi Yedidyah, > > > > Thank you for you update. > > > > This platform started with 4.3 deployment. > > The Default mac address pool, apparently on all Clusters (5) is: > > from_mac | to_mac > > -------------------+------------------- > > 56:6f:ef:88:00:00 | 56:6f:ef:88:ff:ff > > > > I think I misled you, or for some reason didn't understand your > original post.
