It is a little strange but the following seems to be true. <br>
<br>
1. The nova HTTP API has a max_count and min_count that go in the
request dictionary.<br>
2. This is not documented.<br>
3. The novaclient python api create function has these arguments.<br>
4. The novaclient cli does not have them, or at least they are not
documented by 'nova help boot'.<br>
<br>
Beats me why this is the case...<br>

<div>Looking into the details of the request_spec part of a RPC
message ensuing a nova boot command.</div>
<div>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".</div>
