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" and "min_count" are supported by openstackskd for creating multiple servers at once. I tried both the max_count and the min_count, and they both only create one server for me, but I'd like to create multiple servers at once. The code I'm using is like the following: conn = connection.Connection( session=sess, region_name=None, compute_api_version='2')

nova = conn.compute

nova.create_server( name='sdk-test-create', image_id=image_id, flavor_id=flavor_id, key_name=my_key_name, networks=[{"uuid": network_id}], security_groups=[{'name':security_group_name}], min_count=3, ) The above code will create one server "sdk-test-create", but I'm assuming it should create three. Wondering did I miss anything, or if we have any other option to archive this?

Hi, I was able to reproduce the behavior you describe on a local devstack and have proposed the following patch to fix it:

https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstacksdk/+/788098

I was able to verify ^ works by doing the following hackaround for testing:

from openstack import connection from openstack import resource

class MyServer(_server.Server): min_count = resource.Body('min_count') max_count = resource.Body('max_count')

conn = connection.Connection(region_name='RegionOne', auth=dict(auth_url='http://127.0.0.1/identity', username='demo', password='a', project_id='7c60976c662a414cb2661831ff41ee30', user_domain_id='default'), compute_api_version='2', identity_interface='internal')

conn.compute._create(MyServer, name='mult', image_id='23d8bca0-5dfa-4dd0-9267-368ce1e1e8a0', flavor_id=42, min_count=2, networks='none')
