I remember a conversation about when we launch the VMs from home. It asks about setting up a new identifier, you have the choice to do a new one of use the old one. I think the idea was to do the new one and edit some files.......
Ring a bell with anyone?

See slides 70-72 in Lesson 1. Choosing CREATE gets you new MAC addresses but you have to edit the [b]ifcfg-eth0[/b] files on the CentOS VMs to restore the pristine non-DHCP configuration and re-snapshot.
The Ubuntu VM's may need their [b]/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rule[/b] files cleaned of any entries (previous MAC adddresses) so interfaces will start with eth0.
If you try MOVE let us know how it works.

I tried bringing it over again and set it to MOVE. It blew away the ifconfig settings which I added back, after service network restart it had only an ipv6 address.

Silly question about getting the VMs to work at home:
Instead of dragging huge files, around, couldn't we just create a bunch of VMs from scratch at home (noting the appropriate distribution) and set them up to be on the same VMnet, same hardware, etc. as the ones in the lab? Is there anything special about the VMs we're using for class, or have they got the default settings?

They have been hand crafted: user accounts, packages installed, network configuration, VMware Tools, services configured at boot, run levels, full VIM editor, screensaver settings and desktop icons, ... would take less time just to drag home copies. - Rich
