Major Description
When Attempting to create a VIF object in Python, MAC address is a required field but the consensus is that leaving the parameter as empty "" should auto-generate a MAC address for the VIF object. Instead:
Connection Successful! ('Choosing PIF with device: ', 'OpaqueRef:b15bf53d-44d6-9e45-2cc6-29741bf70211') Chosen PIF is connected to network: Bond 0+2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/bsdxenvmbuilder", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('bsdxenvmbuilder==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'bsdxenvmbuilder')() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 565, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2697, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2370, in load return self.resolve() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2376, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) File "/Users/ryankahil/Xen-Builder/bsdxenbuilder.py", line 305, in <module> cli() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 722, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 697, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1066, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 895, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 535, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click/decorators.py", line 27, in new_func return f(get_current_context().obj, *args, **kwargs) File "/Users/ryankahil/Xen-Builder/bsdxenbuilder.py", line 302, in create_network vif_object = session.xenapi.VIF.create(vif) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/XenAPI.py", line 229, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/XenAPI.py", line 133, in xenapi_request result = _parse_result(getattr(self, methodname)(*full_params)) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/XenAPI.py", line 203, in _parse_result raise Failure(result['ErrorDescription']) XenAPI.Failure: ['MAC_INVALID', '']
Here is a snippet of the code I am using to create the VIF object:
vif = { 'device': str(deviceno),
'network': network,
'VM': vm,
'MAC': "",
'MTU': "1500",
"qos_algorithm_type": "",
"qos_algorithm_params": {},
"other_config": {} }
vif_object = session.xenapi.VIF.create(vif)
