On guest reinstalled udev


# apt-get install udev


# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the
/lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules
file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# MAC addresses must be written in lowercase.

SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTRS{address}=="00:16:3e:5b:c3:ad",
NAME="eth0"
* end *


On host;

# nano /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg
made change as follow;
vif  = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:5b:c3:ad'' ]


# xm create /etc/xen/xen1.satimis.com.cfg

Now it works.  Thanks.


"mac=" is need before the address
