MAC address assignment in KVM

[tog]

I just started up a second instance of KVM and the second instance's "e1000" virtual adapter was assigned the same default MAC address as the first existing KVM: 52:54:00:12:34:56.

This of course collided with the first KVM...

Both are using the bridging and both were assigned the same MAC address so only one at a time could work.

Ok, thanks.

For the benefit of anybody else looking through the forum:
Change your network: line in your /etc/qemu-server/XXX.conf like so:

network: macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57,model=e1000,tap

And so on for additonal KVMs, just increment the MAC address by one each time.
