In normal AWS instances it works great. In VPC instances if doesn't work. This seems to be because VPC instances don't use the fe:ff:ff:... MAC addresses. <pre> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:E1:26:30 inet addr:172.17.129.24 ... /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:DA:58:16 inet addr:172.17.128.126 /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 </pre> Of the two VPC EC2 instances I've seen, the MAC address always start with 02:67:4E. I have only seen two instances, both in the same VPC, so I don't know if this holds for every VPC instance, YMMV. in ec2.rb , the following seemed to work: <pre> def has_euca_mac? !!(Facter.value(:macaddress) =~ %r{^02:67:4[eE]:}) end </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
