Why do you try to duplicate MACs?

Even if this works, you would have duplicated MACs, so let the system assign a virtual MAC for the guests NIC.

You can just use the command:
hpvmmodify -P guest1 -a network:lan::vswitch:vsw01

Hi,

Error is clearly saying that, the format of MAC is invalid,

Use proper format,

# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -a network:lan:3,3,00-1a-4b-f3-84-fd:vswitch:vsw01

Another thing why do you want to duplicate MAC??
