A.3.3 Creating and Boot OpenStack Instance from a Glance Image

1. Retrieve the following configuration values:
   Retrieve image ID, run the command:

   $ glance image-list

   Retrieve flavor ID, run the command:

   $ nova flavor-list

   Retrieve network IDs, run the command:

   $ neutron net-list

   For example: An informative name for the instance.

   NOAM-A
   SO2
   MP5

2. Create and boot the VM instance.
   The instance must be owned by the DSR tenant user, not the admin user. Obtain the credentials of the DSR tenant user and issue the following command.

   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

3. View the newly created instance using the nova tool.

   $ nova list --all-tenants

   The VM takes approximately five minutes to boot. At this stage, the VM has no configured network interfaces and can be accessed only through the Horizon console tool.
