Ok, I guess the issue is that using virt-manager to create the domu's does
not create the configuration files necessary, I created a DomU and was able
to name it, it shows up, but now when I query with cacti, it shows multiple
test4 (name of vif), everytime it is restarted, same thing.  More 

Can I force it to give it a vmid?

I was able to set the xenstore value for vifname in the database using the
following command:

xenstore-write /vm/1463e93a-4c30-9cea-94ea-8fde0ead2ef7/device/vif/0/vifname
purple

But when I get my vif, it still goes to 
vif33.0   Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF  
          inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:32 
          RX bytes:9124 (8.9 KiB)  TX bytes:8839 (8.6 KiB)

I'm not sure

I use cacti for this but its pretty much the same. In your config (vif=)
just add vifname=blah

>From a live config file:

vif = ['bridge=br0, mac=00:00:6d:8c:2b:41, vifname=6-a-1.0']

The domname is 6-a-1, so I know easily (in cacti) that 6-a-1.0 is eth0
in guest 6-a-1.
