Recently with VMware Fusion 13.6.3 on macOS Sequoia 15.x, the application keep asking if the VM was “Moved” or “Copied” when the VM in question has been cloned, every time a start operation is executed, regardless if the question was asked and answered previously.
It seem to be a known issue and the only way to workaround it at this time is to append the “uuid.action” option to the .vmx file of the VM ;
Possible choices are :
uuid.action = "keep" uuid.action = "create"
Note : “keep” usually apply if you have moved the VM and “create” apply when the VM has been copied and you want to run both (the source and copied) VM at the same time (this will create a new hardware ID).
Once appended to the configuration (I suggest you append it next to the existing “uuid.*” statements in the .vmx config), it should not show up again the next time you open the application.
