Tested pass with: virt-manager-1.1.0-1.el7.noarch Steps: 1. Launch virt-manager,prepare a guest with shutdown status. 2. Right click the guest,click "clone","Clone virtual machine" dialog pop out. 3. On the dialog,from "Networking",click "Details",a new dialog "Change MAC address" pop out. 4. Input a new MAC address or just keep the original default MAC address,click "OK". 5. Click "clone". 6. After clone is finished,check the MAC address of the new cloned guest,it's the same as set in step 4. 7. If set the new MAC address as the same address of original guest,error will show as:Error changing MAC address: The MAC address '52:54:00:0b:aa:bb' is in use by another virtual machine.

Created attachment 820892 [details] Debug info from virt-manager Description The MAC address of cloned guest should be the same as customized from virt-manager,also no error shows when set the same address as another guest Version: virt-manager-0.10.0-5.el7.noarch libvirt-1.1.1-11.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch virt-manager,prepare a guest with shutdown status. 2. Right click the guest,click "clone","Clone virtual machine" dialog pop out. 3. On the dialog,from "Networking",click "Details",a new dialog "Change MAC address" pop out. 4. Input a new MAC address or just keep the original default MAC address,click "OK". 5. Click "clone". 6.

If set the new MAC address as the same address of original guest,no error occurs,while create a new guest from virt-manager,set the fixed MAC address as one which has been used by other guests,error will pop out: "Mac address collision":"The MAC address '*******' is in use by another virtual machine." Actual results： As description. Expected results: The MAC address of cloned guest should be the same as customized from virt-manager and error shows when set the same address as another guest Additional info: 1.From virt-manager debug info,the newly set MAC address appeared in Clone guest xml,however,it set an random MAC address when create the new cloned guest. Attached the debug info,my customized MAC address is "52:54:00:ce:20:00". 2.The issue can not be reproduced on rhel 6 system. 3.MAC address can be set successfully from virt-clone command. # virt-clone -o test -n newtest --mac=54:52:00:ccd:aa -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/testtest.img Allocating 'testtest.img' | 1.0 GB 00:00:00 Clone 'newtest' created successfully.
