ASF subversion and git services commented on VCL-909:
-----------------------------------------------------
Commit 1710097 from [email protected] in branch 'vcl/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1710097 ]
VCL-909
Fixed minor bug in utils.pm::get_random_mac_address. It was selecting a random
number from 0-255 inclusive. As a result, FF (256) was never chosen for a
random MAC address. Changed to 0-256 inclusive.
VCL-910
Made minor, mostly cosmetic updates to utils.pm:
setup_get_hash_multiple_choice
setup_get_input_string
setup_print_wrap
setup_print_ok
setup_print_error
setup_print_warning
Other
Fixed badly named variables in add_imageid_to_newimages and added error output
if the call failed.

> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Affects Versions: 2.4.2
> Reporter: Xianqing Yu
>
> We use get_random_mac_address() in libvirt.pm to generate random mac address
> for VMs. However, we observe some of our reservations failed because some of
> VMs have exactly the same mac (for both eth0 and eth1). Since reservations
> are made by multiple users simultaneously, current design of
> get_random_mac_address may return the same mac to multiple requests.
