Hi
I must move a virtual machine to another host. I have moved a few virtual machines, with no problem, but i have a problem with a Virtual Machine that have CA DMS(Desktop Manager Suite) software. The uuid.bios is different when I clone/move this VM, since the DMS look for the hardware uuid.bios etc., the software services don't start. After starting the Software i see that the DMS found two machines, the new one, and the old one.
So i need to clone/move the VM without changing the uuid.bio. How can i do this?
PS: I am using the VM converter to move the VM between hosts, since my VMotion is not running yet
Thank you

Have you tried just a cold migration between hosts? Converter is going to create a new machine on the target, not move the existing machine, that will always create a new uuid. If you cold migrate them at power up you should get prompted for the choice of create, keep, always create or always keep the uuid. I would choose always keep.

Hi TCronin
Thank for your reply
Yes using migration between hosts (in Virtual Center) is ok, but since I do not have my Vmotion working(no gigabit connection waiting for a new switch ) I cannot use this.
When I trie to use VMotion I get a warning that I do not have FULL 1000 link.
So I think I cannot use this.
PS: But if i power off the VM i can. I have not remenber this

Hi TCronin
I have used the migration between hosts and all is ok.
I forgot this option, but with the VM power off.
Thank You
