[one-users] Setting up private networks for VM

Hi,
Thannx for the reply.
Using two NIC sections per VM (one has eth0 bridge and the other one has
eth1 as bridge) But I have a single bridge created on each of my cluster
nodes i.e. eth0. When I insert NIC for private network which has bridge as
"eth1", I get a error that eth1 bridge does not exist and the deployment
fails.eth0 acts as a bridge between my public network and the network
interfaces of VMs. This works fine.

I want that a second NIC can be added to the VMs but it fails because of the
reason mentioned above.(there is no eth1 bidge).

Regards,
Prakhar
