VM - MAC address vmotion question

Hi Everyone,

 

I have an application which uses the Nic MAC address, machine name, domain name (created/stored in a blob) which is then combined with the vendor supplied licence number to create a licence file. This licence file is then imported into the application.

 

I would like to convert this physical device to a VM... by default our VM MAC addresses are set to "Automatic"... but I noticed that there is an option on the VM network adaptor to set this as "Manual"...

 

My questions are -

 

1. Does the automatic just mean that the MAC address is "automatically generated" when the VM is created?

 

2. Is the manual option there so that you can manually change the MAC address if required??

 

And the biggie….

 

3. Will the MAC address remain static to the VM when it is VMotioned to other ESX hosts???

 

Thanks,

Stuart.
