C.2 Create and Boot OpenStack Instance

Perform the following steps to create a VM instance from a glance image.
  1. Get the following configuration values.
    The image ID.
    $ glance image-list
    The flavor ID.
    $ nova flavor-list
    The network ID(s).
    $ neutron net-list

    An informative name for the instance.

  2. Create and boot the VM instance.
    The instance must be owned by the DSR tenant user, not the admin user. Source the credentials of the DSR tenant user and issue the following command. Number of IP/interfaces for each VM type must conform with the DSR Network to Device Assignments defined in DSR Cloud Benchmarking Guide.

    Note:

    IPv6 addresses should use the v6-fixed-ip argument instead of v4‑fixed-ip.
    $ nova boot --image <image ID> --flavor <flavor id> --nic net-id=<first network id>,v4-fixed-ip=<first ip address> --nic net-id=<second network id>,v4-fixed-ip=<second ip address> InstanceName
    View the newly created instance using the nova tool.
    $ nova list --all-tenants
    The VM takes approximately 5 minutes to boot. At this point, the VM has no configured network interfaces and can only be accessed by the Horizon console tool.
