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.
the cageate to that is if you are using server groups and affinity or 
anti affinity.
in that case multi create makes sense to use but if you can boot them 
serially in seperate boot requsts that is generally better.

if you ask for min_count 4 and 3 boot successfully and the 4th fails we 
will remove all 4 instances and set them to error that is not necessary 
the behaviour your want
so you should really orchestrate this your self and not realy on the 
basic support in nova if you want anything more complex.

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?
