Hello All,

We have constructed a virtual lab that uses multiple instances of VirtualBox across multiple blade servers.  We provide virtual networking between these virtual machines using Crossbow virtual NICs tagged on certain Vlans.  For the most part this works very well, however occasionally we find that a virtual machine will not start.  From the log file we see this output.

dladm show-vnic on the host blade shows the following output:

According to the manual the only limitation with using Crossbow with VirtualBox is that the MAC address of the Crossbow NIC should be the same as the VirtualBox NIC which we do.

Are we doing something wrong or have we hit a bug in VirtualBox / Crossbow?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Many thanks
