Looks like the domain configuration has been changed while it was already running: the inactive configuration contains the new MAC address, but the live configuration still contains the previous value. Example: $ sudo virsh dumpxml test | grep '<mac' <mac address='52:54:00:e9:0a:e1'/> $ sudo virsh dumpxml --inactive test | grep '<mac' <mac address='52:54:00:e9:0a:5f'/> Destroying the domain and starting it up again should be enough for it to pick up the new MAC address. Cheers. PS: You should never look at the on-disk domain XML directly as it's owned by the deamon; always use 'virsh edit', 'virsh dumpxml' etc. to inspect and modify it. -- Andrea Bolognani Software Engineer - Virtualization Team _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
