The BIOS device name is the name suggested by system BIOS; it is used by
the XenServer kernel to enumerate the device name. As shown in the above
output, the PCI Slot and SMBIOS instance fields for eth0 and eth1 show that
these devices are two LOM NIC ports on the server. Fields PCI Slot filed for
eth2 and eth3 shows that these devices are two ports on a dual port network
adapter present in PCI slot number 4.
The BIOS device name field should match the Kernel name field. In rare
cases, after the XenServer boots for the first time, the BIOS device name may
not match the kernel device name. To resolve this issue, log in to the
XenServer local console shell and restart the xapi service using the following
command:
# service xapi restart
