Hi Pattabi,
I am not sure how to do this. Usually, image-parameters are specified at
the time of upload of image to glance. For example, if you want to use
e1000 driver instead of virtio which is there by default, you can specify
the property hw_vif_model=e1000 in "glance image-create" command.
For example:-
glance image-create --name=UbuntuVM --property hw_vif_model=e1000
--disk-format=raw --container-format=bare < ubuntu.iso
Now if you will launch instance from this image, it will have e1000 driver
for network interfaces. If you want 2 nics for the VM, you can use 2
networks while instantiating it and you will have 2 nics assigned to VM.
I am not sure how we can specify 2 different drivers at the same time to an
instance. Maybe someone else can throw some more light on this.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Sharma
