Description
If someone tries to push the hardware data which contains a mac address which is already present in the database, the API will fail with the error explaining that "this mac address is already present in the database.
Why is this needed
Fixes: #204
How Has This Been Tested?
I have tried to push the hardware data with different id but same mac address which is already present in the database and it did't allow me to push the hardware data by saying that that particular mac address is present in the database
How are existing users impacted? What migration steps/scripts do we need?
The exising user will not be able to push the hardware data which contains the mac address which is already present in the database.
No Migration steps/scripts needed.
