[MTV] Preserve IP option does not work for cold migration

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When migrating Windows and RHEL VMs with an assigned static IP address, even after selecting the Preserve static IPs option network is not preserved after migration.

In the virt-v2v logs is possible to see following error

2025-04-16T15:03:31.411444742Z File /tmp/macToIP does not exist. Exiting.

This happens for the cold migration and occasionally for warm migration.
