Moving and Sharing Virtual
Machines
The following sections provide information on how to move your virtual machines
from one host to another, or elsewhere on the same host, plus recommendations on
how to share virtual machines with other users:
Moving a VMware GSX Server 3 Virtual Machine on page 172
Moving a GSX Server 2 Virtual Machine on page 175
Moving Older Virtual Machines on page 178
Sharing Virtual Machines with Other Users on page 183
Note: When you move a virtual machine to a new host computer or to a different
directory on the same host computer — or when you rename a directory in the path
to the virtual machine's configuration file — VMware GSX Server generates a different
MAC address for each virtual Ethernet adapter (unless you specified the MAC address
manually). For additional information, see
Address of a Virtual Machine
For information about moving virtual machines between VMware products, see the
VMware Virtual Machine Mobility Planning Guide on the VMware Web site.
Maintaining and Changing the MAC
in the VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide.
