You can have as many NICs defined to your Linux guest as you have real storage to support. Assuming the NICs are connected to different network segments (as in your case) it's called "multi-homing." You don't have to put those definitions in the CP directory,however. You can dynamically define them either using the "vmcp" command from Linux or from the guest's VM console via #CP commands. I've done that many times over the last few years: #cp define nic XXXX #cp couple XXXX to system VSWITCHNAME And then from the Linux side, use YaST to configure it. It's entirely possible to do it manually, but tedious, and not permanent unless you create the appropriate /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-?? and /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-qeth-??? files, which YaST does quite nicely.
