Explanation

This can be experienced when migrating from a virtual machine hardware level and have an old version of VMware tools installed. The guest operating system may not understand the hardware and may create or lose information such as the MAC address and network settings. By upgrading VMware tools first and then upgrading the hardware the correct drivers and software are present for a non-impacting upgrade.
