Any hints would be greatly expected. I’ve tried this on a couple of laptops, with the same result, so I suspect that it’s something to do with how I’ve set up my vm, but I cannot identify it. (I think that there may be a few other devstack issues, but I’ve got to get it working to log any bugs). I’m using a vagrant box and VirtualBox on x86 Macs (Monterey), and the devstack install/build process. Everything seems to install, but when I try: `openstack server create --flavor 42 --image cirros-0.5.2-x86_64-disk --nic net-id=2a1a4a3a-a47b-48bd-a7df-c90fc75a1c63 --security-group default wibble` The network id is identified from this: “”" [vagrant@localhost devstack]$ openstack network list +--------------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Subnets | +--------------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 205fa7d7-7067-4f63-b3d9-6a9b37b4f11f | public | 1bbbfa3c-8e0a-483f-a084-4e38241b3315, eecfc603-c057-4b28-90bd-950a47345410 | | 2a1a4a3a-a47b-48bd-a7df-c90fc75a1c63 | private | e7377bed-3e22-4e8d-9c2d-ea7ba740fcfd, f915b88c-9988-4e1f-9060-a6295465699a | | fab3fb15-cbd2-45fe-8451-3f0063d59454 | shared | 97e6d8e6-0f57-48bc-8f1d-e30587086153 | +--------------------------------------+---------+——————————————————————————————————————+ “”” Using a public network fails with an error that this isn’t allowed.

Any obvious hints as to why the spin up fails to create the NIC - or somewhere to look for further and better details? Tim
