Hi James You are right ...
When you restore original VM to Original location the VM is saving the Unique UUID and MAC address on Network adapter, but when you restore the VM to alternate location and the original VM still exist VMware will generate new UUID and MAC address for Network adapter for NEW VM Thanks and Best Regards Robert Ouzen Haifa University Israel -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of James Thorne Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 2:29 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [ADSM-L] TDP for VE question Hi Robert. We had something similar recently and it turned out to be because the MAC address of the VM had changed. vSphere had given the restored VM a new MAC address as the original was still assigned to the original (powered off) VM. Linux saw this as a new, unconfigured device. I don't know what Windows would do in this situation but it looks like the network device on your VM has a Windows autoconfigured address so perhaps the above is your problem.
