Well, didn't see this coming. Not sure if I should post here or over in the network forum. Think I'll try here first.
Received my new-to-me but used Intel Pro 1000 PT dual-port today and slapped it into my ESXi 5.1 box. Disabled the RealTek interface on the mobo, unplugged it, and powered up. System had a new MAC (duh!) so I had to give it a static IP which then caused ESXi to think all the VMs I had created were copied. OK, I get that.
What I don't understand, however, is why the VMs now have new interfaces as well. For example, one RH system had eth0 and eth1. With the new Intel NIC, it now has eth3 & eth4 and no eth0 or eth1. Same thing for the other VMs, Did I miss something? Did I forget to do something to preserve the original configs?
It's not that big of a deal but I'd like to know if this is something I could have avoided and how.
Thanks!

PS: That Intel card is sweet! I wish I had gotten one when I started this ESXi journey.
