VMWare Converter Standalone and static helper VM Mac address

$

Dear community,

 

First, thank you all for this wonderful community, it helped me a lot in the past answering my questions by browsing the forums!

 

I got the following problem. I want to convert a physical linux machine using the Converter Standalone 5.1.

 

Therefore I am trying to set up a static IP address for my helper VM machine but because I am within a enterprise network (which does not allow DHCP) I have the following problem.

 

In our company IP addresses are bound to MAC addresses, I already registered a new IP address with a VMWAre friendly (00:50:56:xx) Mac address in our IT department.

 

But when I use this IP address in the static helper VM setting in the Converter Standalone I am missing the information to enter a Mac address.

 

It seems to me that the Converter is trying to create this helper VM with a random Mac address but and I don't have control over that so that the logfile says "connect failed to <IP address>".

I am pretty sure that if I could assign this mac address to the helper vm the converter could access this machine in our network.

 

Is there a hidden option or some trick to define a mac address for the helper VM?

 

Thanks in advance for your help

 

OliP
