Xen 3.1 HVM VMs Networking on SLES 10 SP1

Before starting HVM VM modify "vif" entry into VM's profile:-
vif=[ 'bridge=xenbr0,mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,type=ioemu',]
This is not important when you have just one Ethernet interface
on the box. Suppose you have two ethernet adapters and created
two bridges.Each one for particular ethernet interface:-

# /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
# /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1

For example the line:-

vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0, mac=00:00:00:11:11:11' , 'bridge-xenbr1, mac=00:00:00:22:22:22' ]

would pass two NICs to the VM with different MAC addresses, eth0 pointing to xenbr0 and eth1 pointing to xenbr1 or you can choose which one of NICs to pass to particular VM.
