How to change Mac address permanently

Hi, I have a server that is running an application sensitive Mac licensing. I started to migrate a VM machine this machine, however, I'm having a hard time to change the mac address. I downloaded the vmx file and changed the mac address, but when it restarts it returns to VMwares mac address. That's what I changed the VMX file:

ethernet0. AddressType = 'static '.

and

ethernet0. Address = "mac address."

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Mike

VMware ESX Server 3i

version 3.5.0

build 110271

Hello

Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

If the MAC is outside the range that is supported for ESX, then you will need to use tools in the guest operating system to change the MAC to start the guest OS. If you are using windows the SMAC tool will do that for you.

  • Change MAC address

    Hi team,

    I'm quite new to VMware technology. I would be grateful for any feedback.

    I came across a situation where I found that Vsphere showed a different MAC address for physically found whats network cards. I guess this is the reason why it says vNIC.

    dojoy@cisco.com_20130529_202324.png

    The screenshot above shows MMIC (of a Cisco UCS server) on the right of the VMware Client to the same host.

    T1) why there at - it a Variant?

    Q2) how to find the real MAC address on the Vshpere Client using GUI or CLI?

    Are you sure have the same selected host?  On the vmnic0 left and 1 are connected.  On the right, vmnic2 is showing something to watch IP ranges which suggests it is plugged.

  • How to get MAC address of a PXI in a dll

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way get a RT PXI controller MAC address. I know that there is a VI to do this, but I'm looking for a solution for a dll (Code C).

    I use the 'call library node' to call this dll and want to ensure that it is used on a specific PXI system.

    Since the VI provides the feature, I wonder if it is also available from C-Code?

    Thank you

  • How to change router ADDRESS of EQUIPMENT (MAC)

    Bought a new Dell laptop and my C6180 in one would not print.

    Purchased a new HP 7520 all-in-one.

    HP software installed, no problems until I went to install a printer and couldn't.

    HP support were very good and concluded that the router would not accept the hardware address of HP (MAC).

    I bought a printer I don't have.

    So much for the experts who told me that I had a defective printer.

    I went to my ISP (hopeless) as found himself on the phone with people in the Philippines for hours.

    Then transferred to the article Pro where they could solve my problem for a$ 120.00.

    The router/modem to ISP Techniclour TG 587nv3 sells a $ 44.00.

    My question is how can I change the hardware address in the router.

    TheHP address a0:48:1 c: af:ba:18

    When this is done, the printer will be installed.

    Best regards, normanl

    Hello

    Found the problem, it is the same as the one that happened in the past.

    File corrupted windows 7.

    So to my experts claiming that I had a defective printer - replace the router, it will be acceptable to send my invoices for the material, which I have not bought.

    For the support of people in Asia who have no understanding of computer problems, but like parrots, just read a Q & A prepared entered report instructions. You are of no use.

    The computer manufacturer who suggested that I was at fault and that the problem of the printer was not associated with my laptop.

    Maybe time should be spent to recruit qualified personnel.

    Edit it static cannot let me change IP (Yes, is now working on DHCP mode and get an IP address from my auto Firewall, it's IP 192.168.218.37 it)

    How can I force the VLAN1 or 1 Port IP 192.168.218.3 GUI or by other means?

    Best regards

    Jimmy Chan

    http://explorerhome.dyndns.org/blog

    Hi Jimmy, the simplest and fastest way to make is in the CLI.

    If you don't have a console, you can use telnet. To activate the telnet go to security 0 > TCP/UDP services, check the box for telnet and apply this mixture.

    Once done, telnet to the switch and connect

    Use the controls

    config t

    interface vlan 1

    address IP x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x (ip address x.x.x.x = and the second = x.x.x.x mask something like 192.168.218.3 255.255.255.0)

  • How to change IP address of Agent connection on the server running?

    I have problem with the change of IP address of the agent as opensource Hyperic 4.0.2
    I changed the IP address of the agent system and after a reboot it show up on the dashboard for autodiscovery with note new IP address. I can open in Autodiscovery and click on 'OK '. So far so good. Can I browse the resources and find this platform and I'm taking the inventory. Now, it is not so good - I can see old IP address in 'properties Type and network '. I can add the new set IP address, mask of MAC manually and remove them manually the old IP address and it seems better. But the big problem is "Agent connection" field - it's still shows old IP agent. I run the query to change the IP address in the EAM_AGENT table for the corresponding id. It still shows the same old IP address in 'Agent connection' and it's drop-down list where I can't find the wiring is correct!
    Now, it's a way of communication - it seems that I get the measures defined previously, but I can't define new service to monitor. A quick test is to run live Exec 'df' command -, error message indicates that the server is trying to connect to the old IP address of the agent.
    I searched through all tables in database and it is not there. My guess is "cache". Is it possible to invalidate cache entries? Or hide it all?
    I restarted the Hyperic server, which is already bad in itself - why I have to restart the server if the broker IP address? This solved the problem with value of agent connection - now it shows the right IP address (it looked really as if it were in the cache), but it did not help too much. Now when I do ' live Exec - df "I get"unauthorized"error message. I have not deleted the directory of 'data' still on the side of the agent, but it seems a little too much work when the stockbroker IP address:
    -Restart agent
    -recognize the IP address change in the dashboard on HQ Server
    -to run the query to edit the EAM_AGENT table
    -(via user interface or through SQL query) remove old IP address manually and add a new IP address in the network platform properties
    -restart the server
    -delete data on the agent, and then restart the agent.

    Is there a better way to deal with it? I'm mainly looking for a workaround to restart the HQ server to change 'Agent connection. And blowing all directory data is not a good approach either - I have spent some time to add and configure the log files and services to monitor. If I understand correctly, it must be configured again.

    Hello

    normally execution of installation interactive on the Agent (HQ - agent.sh of installation) and recognizing changes in Autodiscover should suffice.
