  • Moving a VMware Workstation 5 Virtual Machine
  • Virtual Machines Use Relative Paths
  • Preparing a Workstation 5 Virtual Machine for a Move
  • Moving a Workstation 5 Virtual Machine to a New Host
  • Moving a VMware Workstation 4 Virtual Machine
  • Preparing Your Workstation 4 Virtual Machine for the Move
  • Moving a Workstation 4 Virtual Machine to a New Host Machine

  • 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 Workstation generates a different MAC address for the virtual Ethernet adapter. For additional information, see Maintaining and Changing the MAC Address of a Virtual Machine.
