Ways to create VM images??

[chrisxstyles]

Hi There:

The current way I'm creating images is via the Proxmox Backup & Restore.

However, when I do it this way and restore the VM, it seems like the Network Adapter's MAC Address of the newly created VM is copied over as well.

This causes an interruption of connectivity for the VM.

Is there another way to create a VM image to deploy to another VM without this MAC Address issue? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
see "man qmrestore":

qmrestore -unique    boolean
       Assign a unique random ethernet address.
