Hello, Need inputs on creating "vif" interface with a different name i.e when a domU is installed, vif<dom-id>:<intf-num> is created by default in dom0 and domU which then triggers xenbus state-machine and communication is established. We want to change the name to be "ncr<dom-id>:<intf-num>", the reason being, we are developing our driver specific netfront and netback which will monitor "ncr" to trigger xenbus state-machine. I am not sure where to start in-order to make these changes. Inputs will be very much appreciated. Thanks -RK _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hello Pasi,
Thanks for your inputs. I do not see "xm" cmd
-bash: xm: command not found
I do see "xe" cmd which has vif-unplug/vif-plug and
vif-destroy/vif-create.
I detached a vif via unplug and destroyed it. When creating a new vif, I do
not see the option of vifname in it
xe help vif-create
command name : vif-create
reqd params : device, network-uuid, vm-uuid
optional params : mac, mtu
description : Create a VIF. Appropriate values for the device
are listed in the parameter ''allowed-VIF-devices'' on the VM.
If specified,
the MAC parameter is of the form aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. If MAC is not specified
the server will choose an appropriate MAC automatically.
Inputs appreciated.
Thanks
-RK
