Clone vm does get the new MAC but new mac is not updated in 70-persistent-net.rules, this is casing issue for some of the services.

Kindly do let me know from where we can get the new mac address which is created the vmware while creating the clone.

Thanks yezdi ,  do vmware has the open defect for this , this is long pending issue. because of this our service wont come up properly and require manual intervention to clean up persistent rules.
