Hi, I want to run a virtual appliance which was designed for Vmware on libvirt Linux/KVM. Unfortunately, they hardcoded the kernel NIC name to ens160 inside that image. I can create a libvirt XML which creates a NIC recognised as ensXX, but not ens160, because libvirt doesn’t allow PCI slots over 0x1f.
I wonder how you create such domain XML. Could you post it here?
Is there any possible way to create a virtual NIC ens160 without modifying the image?
I don't think we provide such PCIe controllers as QEMU probably does not have any such ones. Have you considered using virt-v2v for the image to convert it to a usable image?
Thanks.
