Error message might appear when creating linked clones
Details
When creating linked clones of virtual machines, the following error message might appear in the VI Client:
The MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) of vm2 conflicts with MAC assigned to vm1.
Solution
You can ignore this error message.
Linked clones inherit the MAC address of the parent clone. VirtualCenter automatically detects this situation and generates a new MAC address when the linked clone is powered on.
