MAC Address Generator
If you are ever in need of a MAC address generator for your virtual machines, look no further!
Just download
EasyMAC! for *NIX.
EasyMAC! is a shell script that creates MAC addresses, originally random or static VMware adresses.
As of version 1.1, EasyMac also generates global MAC adresses. This makes it more suitable to create MAC addresses for other virtual machines, like
OpenVZ.
Save it to a direcory in your path (/usr/local/bin could be a suitable choice).
Change permissions so you can run the script:
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/easymac.sh
You can now run the script by issuing the command
easymac.sh.
EasyMAC! v1.0 is still available here.
(
The mac address generator is freely distributable under the BSD license.)
VMDK Disk Images
The great thing about vmdk images (besides the fact that you can make them yourself),
is that they are very tiny before you partition and format them.
Here are some pre-built images you can download.
Check out the
tutorial for information on how to use them, or make them on your own.
These disk images have an IDE layout, and cannot be used as SCSI disks.
Note: Remember to unzip the disk image before you use it!
qemu-img
You can use qemu-img to create your own disk images.
Normally, you would have to install the whole software suite to access this single program.
If you only need qemu-img, downlod it here:
