Moved or Copied everytime I start a guet after BIOS update

Hi,

I have been running the latest WS 11.1.2 for a while on the same Linux host with the same guests.  No issues until I upgraded the BIOS on my laptop a few days ago.  Now every time I start a guest, the "copied or moved" dialog pops up - I always select "moved" and the guest starts fine.  I have verified with dmidecode that nothing presented via physical hardware is changing between reboots, so I am at a loss.

Anyone seen this issue, or know a workaround - I have never experienced this since I started using vmware years and years ago..?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

uuid.action = "keep"

in your vmx-files

would automatically answer the question.
Of course that would be just an ugly workaround - not a real fix.

Yep - my searches turned that up, but I would really just lilke it to go away Smiley Happy

I move VMs all the time and of course it does not bother me, but I have bootup scripts that start my virtuals depending on the network I am attached to.  That may be the only option to get it going quickly unfortunately..

Thanks
