Hi,
I need to convert CentOS 7 P2V. In Converter (verison 6.2.0) i set static IP address but there is no possibility to put MAC Address. In my Company everything is filtered by MAC and this is a problem. After process start it just gets stuck on 1% with “Connecting to the Converter helper server on the destination virtual machine.”
I found this explanation https://communities.vmware.com/message/2220153#2220153 but I'm not sure that it's clear for me
I login to Converter Helper. IP is the same like I set at the beginning but MAC is wrong. I register new MAC for IP but this nothing change. I try also set HWADDRESS in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and restart network service.
Informations from logs:
