Florian on January 6, 2015 at 8:24 am said: Hi, Thanks for this post, this really saved my life, as I was trying to assign a reserved MAC statically. I couldn't use a different mac address, as I was forced by a license on the vm to use this specific one. Assign a Static MAC Address with the vSphere Web Client. You can assign static MAC addresses to a powered-down virtual machine's virtual NICs. In the MAC Address section, select Manual from the drop-down menu. Type the static MAC address and click OK. Apr 08, 2012 How to maintain a the same MAC address all the time within your vSphere 4 installation. In VMware vSphere 4 environement, when you move your VM to another host or the VM has different path on the same host, the MAC adress of the VM is changed.

Cubase 7.5 crack mac. VMware Workstation 9, VMware ESXi 5.1, Windows 7 x64 VMNo vCenter access, but I could deploy a vCVA if need be.
I am able to move the VM from Workstation to ESXi just fine. Remove manual line breaks word mac. Using the VM->Manage->Upload option, didn't try scp or similar yet.
Avi player download free mac. My challenge is that I need to preserve the UUID, MAC address, and any other information that is unique to the source VM.
Pyc file cant download mac. 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.
UPDATE:joeqwerty's comment about the UUID was good, however I was unable to change the MAC address to what it needed to be. 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:
Windows manual connect with ip and mac address. Failed to start the virtual machine.Module DevicePowerOn power on failed.Could not set up 'macAddress' for ethernet0.Invalid MAC address specified. 00:0C:29:63:3E:BA is not an allowed static Ethernet address.It conflicts with VMware reserved MACs.
This is an issue with an unpatched 5.1 install and has been fixed in 5.1 U2, and 5.5, see http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2035707
UPDATE 2:Even 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.

You can manually assign a MAC address (as you've stated) and you can manually specify the UUID by editing the .vmx file of the VM.
