Hi, I have a virtual machine defined by xml that start from pxe (network boot), my problem is that sometimes the dhcp server is not ready when the virtual machine try to boot. I need that the virtual machine keep asking for dhcp (network reboot) many times, until dhcp is ready and can start the virtual machine with a valid ip. How can I configure that in the xml file?

...m a pxe server on the first vNIC, the dhcp request is sent on every vNIC until it gets a response (or the vNIC list ends). I would like to know if there is a way to specify that the dhcp request should be triggered on a specific interface and if it fails stop or try again on same interface (if rebootTimeout is set).
