duplicate virtual network for non-exported VM
duplicate virtual network for non-exported VM
- I have a set of VMs and I have the VHDs and the xml file. I want tp preserve the IP settings on the VMs so I need to duplicate the virtual network for the VMs but I have no idea what virtual network name was used. I can get the MAC address from the xml file and I set static MAC address for each but when the VMs booted up they still detected a new network adapter and I lose my IP settings.
Anyone know of a way to get around this?

- Anyone know of a way to find the virtual network name for a VM from the .xml file, or if you can't do that how to have the VM not detect the new virtual network as a new adapter so that you don't lose your IP settings?
OR, is there a way to pull the IP settings from an adapter that is not longer active (Windows stores the IP settings of the previous adapter but I don't know how to get to it)?
-dm Hi,
In order to isolate the issue, please help me to collect the following information:
1. You mentioned “I want tp preserve the IP settings on the VMs”, what did you want to do actually? Did you mean you want to preserve the specified IP address for specified VM?
2. You mentioned “so I need to duplicate the virtual network for the VMs”, what did you do? Can you please provide me more information.
