Currently we cannot modify VM in export domain.

you can enable importing VM with duplicate MAC address via the engine-config
tool, you need to set the AllowDuplicateMacAddresses entry to true.

or you can do it via the sql:
update vdc_options set option_value = 'true' where option_name = 'AllowDuplicateMacAddresses';

you will need to restart the engine after modifying the database.
