Randomize MAC address during appliance import #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Feature request.

By default, phpvb set all the imported systems the same MAC address, it would 
be nice if I could set/randomize MAC address in Appliance Import Settings.

Hello. Are you sure the appliances being imported don't all have the same mac 
address? phpvirtualbox doesn't set the mac address at all. VirtualBox itself 
does this.

yes, also if you change the name of the .vmdk (virtual disk)when importing, it 
again reverts back to the one virtualbox had suggested. I checked this with the 
virtualbox gui and the same thing happens. I figured that it may be a 
virtualbox thing and not phpvbox.

Clone system inheritables appliance mac address ? 
All my new systems get the same mac (even created from the different 
appliances, as I remember, I'll test it later). In dhcp network I got an 
impressive multiple DUPs when i ping one of VMs ip (it's same for them all) :) 
My fault ?
Anyway, mac address assigment may be useful (and not so hard to implement, I 
think) feature in Appliance Import Settings.

thank you for your work, I'll try to be helpful with bughunting and also not to 
be annoying :) we're using phpvb hardly and I hope we'll do some meaningful 
reports, comments and requests. And sorry for my english.

VirtualBox does not allow specifying a NIC's mac address during appliance 
import, so this feature cannot be implemented. You'll have to import it, then 
open up its settings and change the MAC.
