Hello,

I'm making a lab on vSphere 4. I use 3 DELL Precision M4400 laptops configured like that: 2 with ESXi 4.0 in evaluation mode and 1 Openfiler for iSCSI Storage.

When I enabled FT on a shutdown VM with Windows Server 2008 SP2, the thick conversion ran properly and when it tried to create the secondary VM, I received the error message given in subject. The task details reports an error about MAC Address conflict.

As I run on Laptops, I have only one network card. Could it be the reason?

Thanks for your help.

Pierre

Yes, Vmxnet3 nics do not work with FT yet.

Vmxnet3 support for FT will come in a future release.
