So since this is a known reason for the mac address conflict and this isn’t a situation of someone trying to spoof a mac address We clear the alarm on the restored VM before we complete the restore. When Commvault restores a VM we do the same thing (assuming no network reconfiguration as part of the restore) we put the vm back with the exact same network settings, but we know that there can be a mac address conflict, and we also know that you requested a VM to be restored. In my experience, this isn’t “eventually” but “immediately” and the changing of the mac address and the generation of the alarm happen simultaneously. The article also states “If there is a mac address conflict, VMware eventually changes the mac address of the new VM”. In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of.
While VMware changes the mac address an alarm is generated that says a mac address conflict was detected. How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed.
Netbackup doesn’t change the mac address, and because they don’t change the mac address, VMware detects the conflict and changes the mac address. vCenter then changes the MAC address of the replica (as had always been the behavior), but it never clears the alarm. vCenter sees the same MAC address on two VMs and alarms. vmx file, I find that the virtual machine's.
Upon powering up the virtual machine, I find the virtual machine is not using the MAC address I just assigned to it in the edited. The article that you linked isn’t saying the exact same thing here. When Veeam replicates a VM, the replica VM initially has all the same settings (other than the name) of the source VM. I saved the changes, verified the changes were saved, and powered up the virtual machine.
