Thanks,
This is what I'm getting,
ERROR Unknown argument 'bridge:br0'
-This is the command,
virt-install -n $machinename -r $memory --vcpus=$cpus --os-variant=rhel6 --accelerate -v -w --network bridge:br0 --network bridge:br1 --disk path=/home/vm/$machinename.img,size=100 -l http://172.21.110.213/6.3/ --nographics -x "ks=http://172.21.110.213/KS/$machinename-ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.21.110.248 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.21.110.2 gateway=172.21.110.1 console=ttyS0"
-The following is working,
virt-install -n $machinename -r $memory --vcpus=$cpus --os-variant=rhel6 --accelerate -v -w bridge:br0 --disk path=/home/vm/$machinename.img,size=100 -l http://172.21.110.213/6.3/ --nographics -x "ks=http://172.21.110.213/KS/$machinename-ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=172.21.110.248 netmask=255.255.255.0 dns=172.21.110.2 gateway=172.21.110.1 console=ttyS0"
-What am I doing wrong?
Thanks so much,
Meir

As far as I know the only way to directly assign real NICs into VM without bridging is to use PCI passthrough, though this way imposes several limitations, mostly in IOMMU / VT-d hardware support.
But if bridging is acceptable then you can repeat --network bridge:<hypervisor_bridge_nic> option in virt-install command line several times to create as many NICs inside VM as you want.
