MAC address management

Does anyone have more information on how Sun is generating MAC adresses for guest/IO/service domains and is their concern that this method will potentilly create duplicates in the enterprise.

I have seen where there is a range of MAC addrs Sun has set aside for manual assignment to LDOMs, however that does not solve the issue of managing MAC addresses across potentially thousands of LDOMs to prevent duplicates?

I'll have to look again, but I believe there is a calculation that is explained in the admin guide or in the Blueprints doc. Obviously this means there is the potential of MAC address collision. You can manually edit the MAC address, which is also in one of the docs I mentioned.
