Host ID vs MAC Address

Thanks a lot for your reply.
As I understand from your post is that there is no way to get MAC address from Host ID, as there is always a missing part; hope I'm not mistaken.
By the way, the examples I used ini my first post are not imaginary examples, they are from real Sun Blade machines... I noticesd that the Host ID always starts with '8' (not '80') and ends (i.e. last 6 characters) with the last 3 octets of the MAC address
Thaks again

xvif
XVIF(4) BSD/xen Kernel Interfaces Manual XVIF(4) NAME
xvif -- Xen backend paravirtualized network interface SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device xvif DESCRIPTION
The xvif interface forms the backend part of the paravirtualized drivers used by Xen domains to offer network connectivity. When the guest domain is NetBSD, the endpoint of the xvif interface is a xennet(4) interface. In the XenStore, xvif and xennet are identi- fied by ``vif'' (virtual interface) entries. All xvif interfaces follow the ``xvifXiY'' naming convention, where 'X' represents the guest domain identifier, and 'Y' an arbitrary identi- fier; most of the time, it is the frontend interface identifier, e.g. ``xennetY''. For convenience, the MAC address of an xvif interface is chosen by incrementing the third byte of the MAC address of the frontend device. Conceptually, frontends and backends drivers are similar to two Ethernet cards connected via a crossover cable. DIAGNOSTICS
xvif%di%d: can't read %s/mac: %d The MAC address for this interface could not be read from XenStore. xvif%di%d: %s is not a valid mac address The MAC address specified in the configuration file of the newly created guest domain is invalid. xvif%di%d: Ethernet address %s MAC address of the xvif interface. SEE ALSO
ifmedia(4), xennet(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY
The xvif driver first appeared in NetBSD 4.0. AUTHORS
The xvif driver was written by Manuel Bouyer <bouyer@NetBSD.org>. BSD
