I did just that on the new clean Mac Mini today.
This fixed the eth0/eth1 naming, and then after a reboot I just had to run
"xe pif-forget" on the old "side-xxx" interface to remove it and "pif-scan"
to find the newly corrected eth1.
Thanks very much!

Fantastic.
As for a more appropriate hack, edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/interface-rename-data/60-net.rules.template
and make it look something like this:
SNIP-HERE
# Custom hack
ACTION!="add" GOTO="network-done"
SUBSYSTEM=="net" KERNEL=="eth*" SYSFS{address}=="3c:07:54:6a:3f:ed"
ID
Easily done - all attached.
thanks!

All of that information from your current mac mini should be fine, even
with your hack in place.
specifically, given the last two attachments, I can give you a less
fragile hack.

Hi Andrew,
Sure will -
I've hacked/fixed up that one system already so it won't be as helpful for
logs/config - but on Monday I'm going to install a clean XS 6.2 on our
other identical Mac Mini + USB NIC and I'll be glad to collect the

Hi Rob, Andrew,
Response much appreciated.
Ah, I'd like to add - I missed a key point to mention that my whole issue
really is that with the way the system is right now, XenServer doesn't work
correctly with the interface. The naming alone isn't really an issue, of
course. When I installed XS the
Hello,
You are correct - I never considered USB ethernet devices when writing
interface-rename. I shall raise a ticket to deal with this. This logic
was substantially "improved" from 6.0.2 -> 6.1, including much more
careful control of what was considered valid.
In an effort to help (as we don'
Hi Andrew,
The interface-rename script is intended to deal with situation where network
cards are being replaced, removed or added, and tries to make sure that you
still have the eth* names you would expect. For example, if you have a host
with 2 NICs and replace eth1 with a new NIC in the same
Update to that -
I've found there is kind of a work-around, although this isn't a great idea.
Since I know my simple system only has eth0/eth1 and one of them is USB and
is detected later in the boot process, there's probably little chance of
any race conditions with the adapters, so basically if
