Hi Aill,
We are creating two nics using the api, but it seems the second network is
not come up and the first one is working. The following xml is used to for
the nic creation

<boot_protocol>static</boot_protocol>
<mac address='".$ip->mac_address."'/>
<network>

When i checked the configuration file
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) after creating...i find it
seems the ONBOOT=no.....eventhough we set it true from the api. Is this a
bug ?
I do not know what "on_boot" means in oVirt API, but it certainly is not
passed to Vdsm or the guest, and as such cannot control what's in the
guest's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.
The guest may have ifcfg files, it may run NetworkManager, or it may be
Ubunto or Windows. oVirt is responsible to exposing a (virtual) NIC to
the guest, but does not interfere with its configuration.
