RHEV-M error "MAC Pool range exceeded maximum number of mac pool addressed"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why does "MAC Pool range exceeded maximum number of mac pool addressed" appear in a RHEV 3 environment?

    2012-06-01 12:03:42,844 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.MacPoolManager] (main) MAC Pool range exceeded maximum number of mac pool addressed. Please check Mac Pool configuration.

  • We have noticed that RHEV tends to be "stingy" when assigning MAC addresses to interfaces. Is there any way to have RHEV no re-use MAC addresses quite so quickly as it is difficult to manage with DHCP?

  • How do I modify the MAC address range for newly created virtual machines?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
