There’s a field in VIF called ”VM” that should get pass the VM
reference for the VM you want to associate it with when you call VIF.create.
So it’s multiple step. You create the VM then associate VIFs and VBD’s, etc.
with it.
I’ve worked mostly with Citrix Xen. If you download their SDK
there are some VM creation examples that might help.

Subject: [Xen-API] Xen management API doubts
I'm collaborating in a european
project called Federica (http://www.fp7-federica.eu/).
One of the branch of this project is to permit virtualization of different
hosts in the Federica test-bed. We are doing some studies about the different
management interfaces of Xen. Our objective is to create a software remote
client for Xen tool (in java if it's possible). I've done a document (published
on http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dffc5nq6_2dgpj4scx)
with the management interfaces of XEN and, if you want you can take a look and
give me some feedback. Anyway, the objective of this mail is to ask you
something about the Xen-API: how is it possible to create a VM with associated
specific VIFs? I have read the enterprise manual and the community and I've
found that the field VIFs associated to a VM is ROrun. This means that it's not
possible to associate the VIFs I want to a VM? How does it work the creation of
a VM? Which VIFs associate the system to the VM created? I'm sorry but I've not
found any information about this. Thanks a lot,
best regards,
