Hi,
I understand that each Hyper-v node in a cluster will have its own dynamic pool of MAC addresses that should be different between them. When a VM is started on a node it gets a MAC from this pool, if it's moved to another node and restarted it will get a new MAC from the pool on that node. This is a concern for me as I don't want MAC addresses to change when VM's are restarted on different nodes, besides statically assigning a MAC address to EVERY single VM (which could be a fair few with the amount you can host these days) is there any easier way to ensure once a VM has a MAC then it will always retain that MAC regardless of which node it is restarted on?
I am running Server 2012 R2 as the hyper-v host if that makes any difference.
Many thanks
Steve
