Re: [libvirt] <interface type='hostdev'>vf configuration cleanup when VM is delete

To pick up this discussion again: Moshe - am I correct to assume that you've filed a bug somewhere about the mlx driver not accepting 00:00:00:00:00:00? In the meantime, if setting the MAC address to, e.g., 00:00:00:00:00:01 works for you (as implied when you said you use "ip link set dev p4p2 vf 0 mac 0") then you could temporarily work around the problem by setting all the VFs to something like that at boot time - libvirt would then succeed at setting them *back* to those addresses when it was finished with each device.
