Inquiries from customers on the support for ESXi on the latest 2019 Apple Mac Pro 7,1 has slowly been trickling in since the release of the system in late December. Officially, VMware currently does not support this platform and until we have a unit in-house to investigate further, this is the official stance. As of the vSphere 5 (ESXi 5) release, Macintosh is now supported as a VM guest, as long as you put it on Mac hardware. Lauren Malhoit puts an old Mac Pro 4 through the test. The vSphere Client is a Windows program that you can use to configure the host and to operate its virtual machines. You can download vSphere Client from any host.
What is vSphere client. Today lets talk about vSphere client. VSphere client is a management tool for VMware administrators to manage ESXi hosts or vCentre servers. VSphere client normally install on a windows machine and directly access to the vCentre e server or a ESXi host to manage all the virtual infrastructure. VSphere client give you a simplified understanding of your virtual. Assign a Static MAC Address You can assign static MAC addresses to the virtual NIC of a powered off virtual machine by using the vSphere Client. Assign a Static MAC Address in the Virtual Machine Configuration File To set a static MAC address for a virtual machine, you can edit the configuration file of the virtual machine by using the vSphere.
In most network deployments, generated MAC addresses are a good approach. However, you might need to set a static MAC address for a virtual machine adapter with unique value.
The following cases show when you might set a static MAC address:
- Virtual machine adapters on different physical hosts share the same subnet and are assigned the same MAC address, causing a conflict.
- Ensure that a virtual machine adapter always has the same MAC address.
By default, VMware uses the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) 00:50:56 for manually generated addresses, but all unique manually generated addresses are supported.
