      <description>I would note that this is pulling it from the SQL server for Virtual Center (just for reference) &lt;br /&gt;

      <description>I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but this Virtual Mac Tool might give you some details &lt;a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.run-virtual.com/?page_id=173"&gt;http://www.run-virtual.com/?page_id=173&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;

Hi!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
As soon as I ll test this solution I ll rate your answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
As for now I dont have SQL access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
 (I found another solution which is grepping vmx files on ESX datastores)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Regards,&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>I query the SQL Server directly to pull infoormation for our billing system.  You can query the database for this information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
select e.name, n.mac_address, n.network_name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
from vpx_vm v&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inner join vpx_nic n on (v.id = n.entity_id)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inner join vpx_entity e on (v.id = e.id) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I didn't quickly see how to associate the IP address with the NIC.  It may be in there though. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Found it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
select e.name, n.mac_address, n.network_name, i.ip_address&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
from vpx_vm v&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inner join vpx_nic n on (v.id = n.entity_id)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inner join vpx_entity e on (v.id = e.id) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 inner join vpx_ip_address i on (i.entity_id = n.entity_id and i.device_id = n.device_id)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Not exactly what I was asking...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Let me clarify .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
 Does Virtual Center or ESX softwarehave any tool to list all the VMs together with thier MAC addresses? (With IPs it is possbile)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Regards,&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>You will need to search the arp tables to compare the mac address to the name&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"arp -a" will list everything in the ARP tables... so you &lt;b&gt;might&lt;/b&gt; find what you want there. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;

      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/message/1292199?tstart=0#1292199</link>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Hello All!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
I would like to ask if it possible to find Virtual Machine's name by knowing it's MAC address only in any way ? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
Thanks a lot,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
