[libvirt] VMware ESX: Allow ethernet address type 'vpx'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The VMX entry ethernet0.addressType may be set to 'vpx' beside
'static' and 'generated'. 'vpx' indicates that the MAC address was
generated by a vCenter.

The attached patch adds 'vpx' to the valid values for ethernet0.addressType.
