Commissioning VM in LXD host fails

As i was mentioning in my previous replies, I was suspecting the profile of maas-project is incomplete and it might be resulting in this error. As shown in below logs, other projects like default and client1-iso-project are working fine.

If the maas-project is the lxc project which is automatically created by the MAAS UI in the server, does user need to explicitly modify the same to make it work ?

# lxc project ls

So i modified the profile under maas-project accordingly as shown below and then I am able to manually launch new instances

# lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 webserver --project maas-project 
Creating webserver
Starting webserver
#
# lxc ls --project maas-project

Now if I am try to create new VM from MAAS it fails as VM is getting created with empty mac-address and ends up in broken stage
