Advanced VM creation operations

This table shows example nova and neutron commands that enable you to complete advanced VM creation operations:

Operation Command

Boots a VM with multiple NICs.

Table 7.22. Advanced VM creation operations
Operation	Command
Boots a VM with multiple NICs.	$ nova boot --image `img` --flavor `flavor` --nic net-id=`net1-id` --nic net-id=`net2-id` `vm-name`
Boots a VM with a specific IP address. First, create an Networking port with a specific IP address. Then, boot a VM specifying a `port-id` rather than a `net-id`.	$ neutron port-create --fixed-ip subnet_id=`subnet-id`,ip_address=`IP` `net-id` $ nova boot --image `img` --flavor `flavor` --nic port-id=`port-id` `vm-name`
Boots a VM that connects to all networks that are accessible to the tenant who submits the request (without the `--nic` option).	$ nova boot --image `img` --flavor `flavor` `vm-name`

$ nova boot --image img --flavor flavor --nic net-id=net1-id --nic net-id=net2-id vm-name

Boots a VM with a specific IP address. First, create an Networking port with a specific IP address. Then, boot a VM specifying a port-id rather than a net-id.

$ neutron port-create --fixed-ip subnet_id=subnet-id,ip_address=IP net-id
$ nova boot --image img --flavor flavor --nic port-id=port-id vm-name

Boots a VM that connects to all networks that are accessible to the tenant who submits the request (without the --nic option).

$ nova boot --image img --flavor flavor vm-name

	Note
	Networking does not currently support the `v4-fixed-ip` parameter of the `--nic` option for the nova command.
