This is an issue with an unpatched 5.1 install and has been fixed in 5.1 U2, and 5.5, see Įven though the above link states that this issue has been resolved in 5.5 it has not actually been resolved and the MAC address restriction still shows up until one manually edits the vmx file to disable the MAC address check as explained in the above link. 00:0C:29:63:3E:BA is not an allowed static Ethernet address.
#Change vmware mac address to fixed manual#
On Workstation it's 00:0C:29:63:3E:BA, when I try to set a manual address in ESXi it suggests the first 6 to be 00:50:56: when I enter the Workstation address instead I receive the following error message:Ĭould not set up "macAddress" for ethernet0. Joeqwerty's comment about the UUID was good, however I was unable to change the MAC address to what it needed to be. When the Mac address changes option is set to Accept, ESXi accepts requests to change the effective MAC address of. This option allows virtual machines to receive frames with a Mac Address that is different from the one configured in the VMX. I know that I can manually set the MAC on ESXi, but that doesn't prevent whatever other customizations are happening. Selected product version: The security policy of a virtual switch includes a MAC address changes option. I need the VM on ESXi to be exactly the way it was on Workstation. 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? Click NetworkAddress for VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter or Locally Administered Address for Intel Pro/1000MT. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\nf. According to vmware docs, configuration is stored at the following locations: Windows XP. Right-click VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter or Intel Pro/1000MT and click Properties. You can configure VMware DHCP server which runs on host OS to assign a fix IP address to a VM each time. My challenge is that I need to preserve the UUID, MAC address, and any other information that is unique to the source VM. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager.
Using the VM->Manage->Upload option, didn't try scp or similar yet. I am able to move the VM from Workstation to ESXi just fine. (Bonus points) On the new VM, often eth0, eth1, etc. I cant simply cut and paste the MAC into the field, so this can be an error-prone task, especially if I forget my pen and paper to write down the MAC. No vCenter access, but I could deploy a vCVA if need be. To fix this, I need to find the MAC address of the new VM, edit ifcfg-ethN and add this MAC to the HWADDR field. Just add the Mac Address of the Virtual Machine you wish to set a Static IP Address for by going to Vmware Workstation / Player, Settings > Network Adapter > Advanced There you will see the MAC.

VMware Workstation 9, VMware ESXi 5.1, Windows 7 圆4 VM Remove or comment out these lines in the VMX file (make sure guest is powered off): ethernet0.addressType 'generated' ethernet0.generatedAddress 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx' ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset '0'.
