[BlueOnyx:14734] Re: MAC Address question?

I think the problem may be more that the NIC in the new box is eth1 not eth0 but the system is trying to load on the eth0 from the old box. I had the same problem when a NIC had to be replaced. If you edit the file "70-persistent-net.rules" to remove the old eth0 card line and also remove the new eth1 line:
vi /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Then you just need to reboot and the file will be updated with the new network card as eth0.

Actually there is a CCE constructor that reads the current MAC addresses and updates them in CODB. So as far as BlueOnyx is concerned there is nothing to do. Except maybe a "/sbin/service cced.init restart".

Other than that: The MAC dresses of each NIC are supposed to be unique.
They're usually hard coded into the cards. If you want to change the MAC that a NIC reports, then that's an entirely different matter not really related to BlueOnyx. It can be done under Linux with some trickery involved, although that's usually a bit shady.
