8.6 SUSE Drivers for SUSE Linux

The drivers for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 and later are included in the distribution. In
this case, no extra driver pack is necessary. The supported guest systems are SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP4 or later.
8.6.1 Virtual Network Card in HVM Guests
To configure a paravirtualized network interface for a fully virtualized VM Guest system,
the xend settings must be modified. For details about changing xend settings see
tion 4.3, "Configuring a Virtual Machine by Modifying its xend Settings"
1 If your VM Guest is running, first shut it down.
2 In the sxp file of the machine to configure, search for the vif device entry. This
may look like this:
(device
(vif
(bridge br0)
(uuid 809f1a5e-397c-495b-7138-7278cc958c9f)
(script /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge)
(mac 00:16:3e:54:79:a6)
(model rtl8139)
(backend 0)
)
)
3 Remove the line that defines the model of the emulated network card. The result-
ing section should look as follows:
(device
(vif
(bridge br0)
(uuid 809f1a5e-397c-495b-7138-7278cc958c9f)
(script /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge)
(mac 00:16:3e:54:79:a6)
(backend 0)
)
