Hi Catherine,

Have a look at min_count option :) min_count is what you want yes altough nova generally discuorages use fo our server multi create feature and advise peopel to make multiple independent boot calls instead.

Thanks Mohammed

Hello there,

Hope this email finds you well.

We are currently using the openstacksdk for developing our product, and have a question about the openstacksdk compute service create_server() method. We are wondering if the "max_count" attribute is supported by the create_server() method? We tried to create multiple servers by setting the max_count value, but only one server has been created.

While when we use the python-novaclient package, novaclient.servers.create() method has the attribute max_count which allows creating multiple servers at once if set the value. So we would like to know is there a similar attribute like "max_count" that could allow us to create multiple servers at once in openstacksdk?

Thanks and have a great day!

Catherine
