Verified bz using testcase in bz 287811 - this testcase is reallly to prove the xml can be created. which i confirmed with virsh dumpxml guest
it should also be noted that the testcase used in commnet #6 creates an unsupported guest that crashes on bootup - we do not support above 3 vif interfaces for rhel5.1
> we do not support above 3 vif interfaces for rhel5.1 Where is the limitation written? I cannot find that in the release note of rhel5.1.
