  • Thread-topic: limts on per-vm vifs?

I was trying to see how many vifs I could create per VM.
When I tried to set it up by setting nics=6 and defining the values for each of the nics using the vif commands, I can see the DomU acknowledging 6 nics at startup(eth0-eth5). However, it is unable to setup the nics 4, 5, and 6( eth3-5).
The following messages appeared on the /var/log/messages on Dom0.
From this, it seems that the six vifs were created and then the last 3 were taken offline. I have marked the part where this happens with a line.
When I try to manually look at eth3-5 on the domu, I get the message  "error fetching interface information, device not found".
 
Has anyone seen this kind of behaviour before?
 
thanks
Raj
