[libvirt-users] Accessing a MAC address from inside the VM?

[David Lane]

Greetings,

I have a very simple problem, but the resolution is proving rather complex.
Bare with me, I will attempt to explain.

I have a host machine with no GUI.

I attach an existing .img file to the host machine and need to change the
MAC address (since the image was created on another machine).  Is there a
way from with in the guest to do this or do I have muck with the XML?  And
if I muck with the XML and change it, how do I pass this information up to
the guest, or will the guest see it automagically or do I have to write it
down and then manually transfer it into the guest's ifcfg?

Using the GUI, when you change the NIC, the guest generally does not see the
new MAC and grouses until you change it.

Thanks.

DAVID
