Description Dan Kenigsberg 2018-03-11 10:34:59 UTC

The typical use case of importing a VM from from VmWare is that of relocation, not clone. The original VM is stopped, and the workload is expected to run on oVirt with as little interruption as possible.

Thus, v2v import should allow keeping the original MAC.

Kaul suggests that this should be the only option. If the MAC is "bad" in any way, the NIC can be imported as "unplugged", and the user can request to reassign it in a follow-up call.

Note that this means that Bug 1437152 was not a bug, but a feature, which we would like to reintroduce.

Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2018-03-16 15:28:15 UTC

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89082/ is changing behavior just for the importVmFromConfiguration using OVF, not affecting the current integrated v2v.

Comment 2 Arik 2018-03-19 08:59:13 UTC

As mentioned in comment 1, the current integrated v2v is not affected by this change.

Comment 3 Liran Rotenberg 2018-03-28 11:17:23 UTC

Verified on:
ovirt-engine-4.2.2.5-0.1.el7.noarch
vdsm-4.20.23-1.el7ev.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.36.10-6.el7.x86_64

Steps of verification:
1. Create a VM on VMWare with NIC and MAC address.
2. Import the VM from RHEV via V2V.

Results:
The VM was imported with the NIC plugged and up.
The MAC address remained to the one in VMWare.
