MAC Address [message #36727]

PLEASE NOTE: I am asking here since OpenVZ is equivalent to Virtuozzo and since Parallels support is a complete rip-off (price), and very slow.

How do I apply a MAC Address (of my choice, not random) to a VE (Virtuozzo powered)

I tried this:

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --mac "actual mac address here" --save Invalid usage. Option --ifname not specified

In order to license software for use for my client's company, the vendor needs the MAC Addresses setup for their vps' virtual enet interfaces.

Tried various methods, not working.

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --mac --venet "mac-address" --save Bad parameter for --mac: --venet

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --mac --eth0 "mac-address" --save Bad parameter for --mac: --eth0

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --venet --mac "mac-address" --save VEID#: unrecognized option `--venet'

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --mac "mac-address" --save Invalid usage. Option --ifname not specified

[root@node root]# vzctl set VEID# --mac "mac-address" --venet --save VEID#: unrecognized option `--venet'

Edit/Delete Message

The Virtuozzo NODE uses Centos, as does the VPS container.

Tried this also:

[root@node etc]# vzctl set VEID# --netif --mac "mac-address" --save
VEID#: option `--netif' is ambiguous

[root@node etc]# vzctl set VEID# --mac --netif "mac-address" --save
Bad parameter for --mac: --netif

[root@node etc]# vzctl set VEID# --netif "mac-address" --save
VEID#: option `--netif' is ambiguous
