vmk0 clones flexnic mac

Hi,

Anyone else come across a gotcha with HP BL using FlexNICS and Virtual Connect assigned MAC where creating the management network using the DCUI after install causes the vmk0 port that's created to clone the physical MAC address (in this case the VC assigned MAC - which can cause a bit of a hidden gotcha if you ever change around server profiles) rather than create a vmware assigned MAC address ? We've found we need to delete this vmk0 port and manually recreate at the command line in order to rectify. Using latest HP ESXi6 iso.

Just curious really - didn't find anything specific to this with an admittedly brief search

Cheers

DB
