Firstly, my apologies if this has been answered already. Ive been unable to get a clear answer here for days. I have a valid serial number from a DS3615xs that had died, and I never got around to RMAing before it was lost for good. I have a DSM 6.1.5 Virtual machine on ESXI 6.0. I am trying to get a clear understanding of how a Mac addresses are derived from a Serial number. Ive gone over the discussions and tools out there for it, but it seems all of them assume a generated serial number, and not one that I already have. Any information you guys can give will be extremely helpful.

Recently I reinstalled my build (DS3617xs/6.1.7) using a set of serial/mac(starting with 02:11:32) generated by Docker/DDSM. Everything went smooth until I create a new host in VMM, the mac of the DSM was changed to another random address(#1). I rebooted the DSM and kept looking at the router, the DSM started with 02:11:32 but later when the VM started, the DSM mac was changed again to another random address different from #1. I checked the grub.cfg of the usb drive and it wasn't changed. Now I am sure the DSM mac was changed during either the creation of a new VM or the startup of an existing one. Are there any methods to stop this? -
I have got genuine serial + MAC from another/wrecked Synology device. Is it recomended to use it? If so, how to do that? Will there be any advantage? Thanks in advance.
