In the Virtual Machine Manager 'Main Window' select 'Edit' -> 'Connection Details'
In the 'Connection Details Window' select the tab 'Storage' and press the 'Plus-Sign' located at the bottom left corner to add a new storage pool
Enter 'kvmpool' in the name field and choose 'logical: LVM Volume Group' as type. Then klick the 'Forward' button.
Enter "/dev/kvmpool' as 'Target Path' and '/dev/sda3' as source path.
The 'Virtual Machine Manager' parses the '/etc/network/interfaces' File to display all available network interfaces.
sh# man 5 interfaces
Because macvlan interfaces are not supported by the '/etc/network/interfaces' configuration, we have to add them differently before we can use them. In the following we will use via systemd-networkd to add and configure new network devices.
sh# cd /etc/systemd/network/
sh# vi 10-virbr100.netdev
[NetDev]
Name=virbr100
Kind=macvlan
[MACVLAN]
Mode=bridge
systemd-networkd File Types
.netdev = device definition
.network = device configuration
! Make sure systemd-networkd is enabled !
systemctl enable systemd-networkd
systemctl enable systemd-resolved
sh# cd /etc/systemd/network/
sh# vi 10-virbr100.network
[Match]
Name=virbr100
[Network]
Address=192.168.100.78/24
Gateway=192.168.100.1
DNS=192.168.100.1
The File 10-virbr100.network contains the virbr100 macvlan interface configuration.
sh# cd /etc/systemd/network/
sh# vi 10-enp0s25.100.network
[Match]
Name=enp0s25.100
[Network]
MACVLAN=virbr100
A MACVLAN interface is always a subinterface, thus we have to associate it with a Master, which we do in the 10-enp0s25.100.network file.
virbr100 is a subinterface of the vlan interface enp0s25.100.
Now that we created all devices, we have to edit /etc/network/interfaces, so that we can use these (new devices) with the Virtual Machine Manager.

sh# vi /etc/network/interfaces

# vlan interface

# macvlan bridge mode: virbr100
