MAC address changes after cloning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




Hi,

I have x86 system and have used clonezilla to clone the entire hardisk of system A and restored it on another x86 system, system B.
After the cloning process, i notice that the MAC address of the system B in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is changed and
is having the MAC address of system A.

The interesting part is that if i do an ifconfig from the bash prompt, the MAC address of the system B is correctly displayed, but
in ifcfg-eth0 script it is different. I had disabled kudzu, since i was always getting eth1 activated on System B,
even though i had used eth0 on system A. eth0.bak was getting created instead on system B. Disabling kudzu resolved it.

My question is that how could i get the same MAC address for system B from ifconfig and in  
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Is there any script to do it ?
