[libvirt] How to add uplink in esx virtual switch using libvirt

[varun bhatnagar]

Hi,

I have an ESXi server, on top of it I have created one VM whose IP address
is 192.168.79.1.
I want to connect to the VM on ESXi server from my host machine but I am
not able to do it.
I have created a network "networkforSC" and I have pasted my xml file
content below but I am not able to add any uplink (how to add it?) .
Below is the xml file of my node as well as the network which I am creating
on my ESXi server

*<domain type='vmware'>*
*<name>testNode</name>*
*<uuid>50115e16-9bdc-49d7-f171-53c4d7f91710</uuid>*
*<memory>1048576</memory>*
*<currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>*
*<vcpu>1</vcpu>*
*<console>/dev/console</console>*
*<os>*
*<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>*
*</os>*
*<devices>*
*<disk type='file' device='disk'>*
*<source file='[datastore1] testNode/testNode.vmdk'/>*
*<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>*
*<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0'/>*
*</disk>*
*<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='lsilogic'/>*
*<!--controller type='scsi' index='0'/-->*
*<interface type='bridge'>*
*<mac address='00:50:56:25:48:c7'/>*
*<source bridge='VM Network'/>*
*</interface>*
*<interface type='bridge'>*
*<source bridge='test'/>*
*</interface>*
*</devices>*
*</domain>*

Network File:

*<network>*
*<name>networkforSC</name>*
*<portgroup name='test'>*
*</portgroup>*
*</network>*

I have checked the network which got created on the server.
As I have not attached any uplink (vmnic0) I can not see it (I want to
attach it).

#esxcli network vswitch standard list
*
*
*networkforSC*
*Name: networkforSC*
*Class: etherswitch*
*Num Ports: 128*
*Used Ports: 2*
*Configured Ports: 128*
*MTU: 1500*
*CDP Status: listen*
*Beacon Enabled: false*
*Beacon Threshold: 3*
*Beacon Required By:*
*Uplinks:*
*Portgroups: test*


Can anyone please help me out in adding the uplink and also can anyone tell
me whether I am going in a right direction so that I could ping my virtual
machine created on ESXi server.


Regards,
Varun
