Hmmmm, indeed, this works, but this makes things uglier for me.
Renaming my system from 'test' to '00:16:3e:01:ec:2e' in Cobbler and
using --system=00:16:3e:01:ec:2e instead of --system=test makes the
virtual guest get the intended the MAC address, but :

When I run 'xm list' and see a bunch of host names, it's much quicker
for me to stop/restart/connect-to any of the guests than with having a
list of 00_16_3e_xx_xx_xx entries :-/ Same for the WebUI...
So it seems to me that there is too much logic on the Koan side, which
makes it impossible to use a friendly name and have it use the MAC
address configured in the Cobbler.
It is not magic to do a look up from a hard name (a hash, actually) to
common name. Is an RFE in order here, to add a backend transation
store, and minimal maintenance tools to manage it? -- sqlite and just
a few lines of code, and one is done. - or - add perl-DBI perlish
hooks, and one gets whatever backing store is locally convenient.
This really has nothing to do with databases. This has to do with
checking a different field name than what is currently checked. It'll be
in the next release.
