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

Hello,
You can use the "vifname" option on the vif line.
See "xm create --help_config" for more information.
