[ovirt-users] Guest PXE boot with 2 NICs : MAC order

Indeed, if you're using oVirt 3.4 and up, and you supply all the NICs
whenever you create the VM (not afterwards - as part of the new VM
dialog), the NICs should receive MAC addresses according to their
ordering by names, e.g. nic1 will always get a lower MAC address than
nic2. For a newly-created VM this should guarantee that nic1 will indeed
end up the first NIC inside the guest OS and be used by PXE.

If this is something you do a lot, then I'd suggest creating a new
template as such and create VMs from that.
