@DaanHoogland
I checked my envs, the mac address of ssvm and vrs are still there, but not for cpvms
I think, it is not a problem to keep or clean up mac address if the system vms have been destroyed.

[DaanHoogland]

not sure if they can be re-used this way, just noticed it and entered the issue to keep track. This would only become an issue in very large environments I suppose?

[rohityadavcloud]

isn't that for auditing purpose @DaanHoogland or is it okay to reuse old mac addresses?

I think auditing a destroyed system VM would not amount to much. If it were user VMs maybe, but we regard the systemVMs as secure, don't we?

Also, I think it is only for SSVM and not VR , but need to check that.
