The bare-metal hypervisor needs to let the network layer know the MAC address of each node it has, or TFTP boot will fail, as the MAC addresses quantum / nova dynamically allocate will not match the actual MAC of the node as it boots. This change exports the MAC addresses to the manager, which passes them onto the network driver in use. With this change administrators should register all the MAC addresses of a given node with Nova bare-metal as interfaces, even though that may duplicate the MAC for PXE boot provisioning. Long term the dedicated provisioning MAC address will be removed. Change-Id: I55f6031294a2c5d31975462f868aa27441e11ad2

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:
