This is wrong. If you specify a bridge then, presuming that your dom0
is Solaris, it should be the name of a link in dom0 (e.g. e1000g0).
This is the cause of the specific failure you reported ('Backend
device not found').

It depends on which variant of Solaris is running in the guest. If
it's OpenSolaris (Indiana), then you can't specify the IP address from
the .py file - OpenSolaris always uses NWAM (see below).
If you're running Solaris (Nevada), then this works as long as:
- you are using the 'default' network/physical service rather than
'nwam',
- the domain contains no IP configuration data (i.e. no /etc/
hostname.xnf0, /etc/dhcp.xnf0),
- you specify 'ip', 'netmask' in the .py ('gateway' is optional).
