Hi,
When plug a bridge interface to an active VM with both LIVE AND CONFIG flags,
libvirt generate different mac address to LIVE and CONFIG instance, so After
I reboot the VM, DHCP server doesn't assign the same IP address to the new
bridge interface.
This is kind of expected. In general, live and inactive XMLs can be
significantly different. And I guess it's out of libvirt's scope to try
and autofill missing data in such way that fits both libe and inactive
XMLs. For instance, a PCI address can be taken/free in live XML because
of hotplug/hotunplug but that might not be the case for inactive XML.
Should libvirt try and find a slot that suits both XMLs?
