I think we are all familiar with the manual MAC address issue - some software depends on the MAC for licensing, and in VMware you need to stick to a certain range of Ethernet addresses if you want to be able to manually put in your own MAC address. Mcculloch pro mac 3800 manual download windows 7.

Somehow I think that should have been written in big, bold letters before I started virtualizing a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure it wasn't mentioned in the class, either. I have several apps that generate their license based on a server's MAC. And yes, now I have to change virtual NICs on several VMs from either Flexible or E1000 to VMXNET2.

Currently running vSphere 4.1, ESX build 320092 across the board.

In one of my ESXi host we have found the alert mentioning the NFS IP Conflict and it points the specific MAC address as the owner. I was looking to find the HostIP which is causing the conflict and found some various options to find the results from both the ESXi VM level and hope.

However, the range of free address provided by the VMware OUI is restrictions.

Once I upload the VM to ESXi a customization is automatically happening assigning a new MAC address, UUID, etc., how can I avoid that from happening? I need the VM on ESXi to be exactly the way it was on Workstation. I know that I can manually set the MAC on ESXi, but that doesn't prevent whatever other customizations are happening.

Since I didn't plan ahead far enough to manually put in those MAC addresses, now I have no choice but to find some way to keep them until the vendors can regen the licensences.

So, here's the procedure I'm using to keep the MAC address:

1) Write down the old MAC

2) Replace Flexible NIC with VMXNET2

3) Unregister the VM

4) Edit the .vmx file and replace the automatically assigned MAC address with the old MAC address

So far it has worked for me just fine on two test servers. The question is: Will this cause any problems down the road?

I am currently running a 'vanilla' network setup - no distributed vSwitches. However I do plan on putting that in place later this year, and that's where I'm not sure it my little procedure will come up to surprise me at that point.
