How i do


1.
#cd /etc/sysconfig/network-script
    if you see ifcfg-eth0 and  then change HWADDR=New mac address.
you can find new macaddress on vSphere client. and edit guest os 
  
2
#cd /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
#vi ifcfg-eth0   

change HWADDR=new mac  
If you cannot ifup eth0  maybe you need change ip address  
#ifup eth0
#service network start
