Re: [Xen-users] physdev in domU

[Ryan <hap9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In Xen 3.0.2, (barring any future changes), you will do something like:

vif=['','','']

to specify three interfaces. For Xen 2.0.7, the 'nics' option *should*
only be specifying the virtual interfaces so you want nics=3. During
domain creation, Xend is unaware (and doesn't care) that the PCI devices
you are passing to your domU are ethernet devices. The physical ethernet
devices will only be recognized as network adapters when the drivers are
loaded within your domU.
