Hi BAlfson & dswartz, I completed the change yesterday, and this is how I completed the change. 1. Configured the 2 x UTMs as HA (Active-Passive), this way I could sync all the data. 2. get the Virtual DC to change NICs from e1000 to VMXNet3 on backup UTM. 3. Rebooted Backup UTM. - the UTM was effectively dead in the water. - I ran "ifconfig" and found that the interfaces were there but only one was displaying one of the MAC addresses (this was not in the correct position) - i ran "lspci" to check that the VMXNet3 interfaces had been recognized (they had been recognized). 4. Used CLI console to change "71-virtual-mac-net.rules" in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ folder. (see below) 5. rebooted UTM - All worked ------------------------------------- here is the 71-virtual-mac-net.rules file # Ignore HA virtual MAC addresses, so network interface names are not renamed in 70-persistent-net.rules # This should not happen, but there are some buggy network cards out there, e.g. Realtek SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1a:8c:f0:*", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth%n" **below is what I added to get it to work correctly. SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:00:7f:**:**:05", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:00:41:**:**:05", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:00:61:**:**:04", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="1e:00:d8:**:**:d3", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3" SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:00:0b:**:**:04", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth4" ------------------------------------- thanks for all your help with this Bob & dswartz.
