How to set the device_id param on virtual machine

Instructions

1. Note the VM's unique identifier (UUID): in XenCenter, select the VM in the left-hand tree view. Click the General tab and record the UUID shown. You can also obtain this by using the xe vm-list command.
2. Modify the VM's device_id parameter: on the XenServer host's console, issue the one of the following commands:
   • To set device_id to 0001 run:
     xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_uuid> platform:device_id=0001
   • To set the device_id to 0002 run:
     xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm_uuid> platform:device_id=0002
3. Reboot the VM.
