Every time I start a Windows Vista or Windows 7 virtual machine it
request a that a location be set for the network, regardless of the fact
that the network location has already been set the same way every time
the system is started. Near as I can tell the VM's NIC MAC, IP address,
DNS servers, default gateway, and all other network related items are
the same every single time. While this does not stop the VM from
working it is annoying.
I'm starting the VM the same way through libvirt every single time. The
resultant kvm command line is:
/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -cpu qemu32 -enable-kvm -m 1536 -smp 1 -name
win7 -uuid 6671f42a-b974-6bb9-bd7e-fd1da95cabe5 -monitor
unix:/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/win7.monitor,server,nowait -localtime -boot c
-drive file=/media/devel/testing/win7/testing.img,if=ide,index=0,boot=on
-drive
file=/media/devel/testing/isos/en_windows_7_professional_x86_dvd_x15-65804.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2
-net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:37:4a:ce,vlan=0,model=rtl8139,name=rtl8139.0
-net tap,fd=38,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -serial pty -parallel none -usb
-usbdevice tablet -vga cirrus
While the uuid isn't the same from one execution to the next, to my
knowledge it's not something the VM ever sees and is only an identifier
within KVM. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
