INTERNAL ONLY !!!!
------------------------------------------
NOTE! - During import, if you say you moved the VM it will not create a new mac address for the network adapter, if you say you copied it vm will create a new mac address for the network adapter. Always say you moved it vs copied it.
Also note if the user did say they copied it, or they go in and update the hardware version from the current listed version to the latest in vmware, it will generate a new mac address for the network adapter. If this is the case do the following to fix.
As the root user fun the following commands via SSH
ifconfig
make a note of the mac address found for eth0 typically
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
change the mac address in this file to the mac address you got when running ifconfig
save changes, reboot.
------------------------------------------
Moing the VM
On the VM you want to move do the following.
Via console run the following commands
As rsaadmin run this command
cd /opt/rsa/am/server/ <enter>
./rsaserv stop all
Once services are stopped sudo to root via the following command
sudo su - <enter>
Use the same password you used for rsaadmin for the command above
Next run shutdown -h now <enter>
Next copy the VM over to the new esx environment
Once that's done, start it up, then via console as the rsaadmin user run the following command
cd /opt/rsa/am/utils <enter>
./rsautil manage-secrets -a recover <enter>
lastly as root reboot the system
sudo su - <enter>
reboot <enter>
Once the above is complete all services should start and your VM is now moved.
