Just asking a sanity-check question.

If I have both KVM and VMware hosts and not ALL datastores are provided by NFS and thus common to all participants then they can't be part of the same cluster because when it's time to deploy a VM the source may not be available on the intended host? I read that VM templates are generally intended to be hypervisor agnostic.

So, is there any way to "steer" a Template or a VM at instantiation time to a particular flavor of hypervisor? Hmm, apparently there is; "http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.6:template"; down near the end of the page in the discussion of requirement booleans (REQUIREMENTS = "HYPERVISOR=\"vmware\"")

Does anyone use this capability?

When I use 'virsh create' to create a VM, it auto-generates a MAC should it not be defined in the specification. Does ONE then do a 'virsh export' to find out what MAC address was assigned and then incorporate it into the database so that next it will specify it when starting? I know that on RHEL derived distros, changing the MAC causes the guest to renumber interfaces.
