Thanks for the reply Javier.
I was able to create a VM by specifying only network interface name in the NIC
section. I left MAC address assignment over to the hypervisor (KVM) which
assigns MAC address to a VM if it's not specified in the VM definition file. So
in this case OpenNebula didn't have any knowledge of the MAC and IP address
assigned to this VM. I am not sure whether this will impact OpenNebula's VM
management functionality though. Any thoughts?
Following is an example VM definition. OpenNebula version: 3.0.
{{{
# Capacity section
NAME = ttylinux-01
MEMORY = 128
CPU = 1
# OS and Boot section
OS = [
ARCH = i686,
BOOT = hd ]
FEATURES = [ acpi = "no" ]
# Graphics I/O
GRAPHICS = [
TYPE = "vnc",
PORT = "-1",
keymap = "en-us" ]
# Disk devices
DISK = [
IMAGE_ID = "0" ]
# Network interface
NIC = [
BRIDGE = br0 ]
}}}
