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
  • Moving a GSX Server 2 Virtual Machine
  • Moving Older Virtual Machines
  • Sharing Virtual Machines with Other Users
  • 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 Maintaining and Changing the MAC 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.
