2.2.2 Setting a Minimum Amount of Memory
To set a minimum amount of memory for Domain0, edit the

Guests

card. However, it also possible to use the split network driver to run the communication
between Domain0 and a VM Guest. By default, both interfaces are presented to the
VM Guest, because the drivers of some operating systems require both to be present.
When using SUSE Linux Enterprise, only the paravirtualized network cards are available
for the VM Guest by default. The following network options are available:
emulated
To use a “emulated” network interface like an emulated Realtek card, specify
(type ioemu)
in the vif device section of the Xend configuration. An example
