Bug Description
Ironic uses Neutron for IPAM - IP address allocation and DHCP, same as nova with e.g. KVM or Xen. Unlike a virtual machine hypervisor, Ironics real machines sometimes develop hardware faults, and parts need to be replaced - and when that happens the port MAC changes. Having the port's mac address be read-only makes this much more intrusive than it would otherwise be - we have to tear down and rebuild the whole machine, rather than just replace the card and tell Neutron the new MAC.

Hi,
You are able to create a neutron port with a specific MAC address. Have you explored this option via nova/ironic?
Thanks
Gary
