I'd guess that the MAC address you used has been set as the primary address of the physical NIC that you dedicated (dladm show-phys -m). If you change the primary address of the physical NIC (using 'ifconfig foo0 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx') it should be possible to create a VNIC which uses that address. > I'd like to keep the old MAC address as we use the last 2 numbers > of the IP address to form the last 4 digits of the MAC. dme. -- David Edmondson, Sun Microsystems, http://dme.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
