[Openstack] [Nova] Create multiple instances in one request

Dear All,

Looking into the details of the request_spec part of a RPC message ensuing
a nova boot command.
There is a 'num_instances' : 1 property that implies the value could be
different than one (default) even though there is no cardinality parameter
in nova boot nor in the API (unless I missed something big). So, I am
curious to know: why is it there if we cannot create more than one instance
at a time through the API, but more importantly is there a (secret) way to
set that value different than 1 to tell the scheduler "please create
multiple instances of that type".
Thanks in advance
Patrick
