Hello,
I just cloned one VM from vSphere 5.1 to a shared datastore, then registed the new VM on the vSphere 6.0 platform, the cloned VM threw out "vShield VirtualMachine Alarm" alarm before powering on.
The original vSphere 5.1 platform is protected by the Macfee virus filter solution, but the target vSphere 6.0 platform is not(However the base Endpoint driver was installed on the esxi hosts).
My question is, is there some entry in the VM .vmx file regarding the virus filter solution ? how the cloned VM knows it was protected on the vSphere 5.1 platform before clone? And will it preventing from implementing virus filter solution on vSphere 6.0 in the future?
