Hi Stefan,
You have to use the following form of the nova boot command:
nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 --nic port-id=a2183706-63c0-4468-8194-8fe4ce064558 vm1.
Port-id is the id of the port you previously created.

Hope it helps,
Irena

Hello,

I'm creating a neutron plugin and reached the create_port command. What I want to do is create the OVS port on the compute node and provide Nova with the VIF id that will be used to plug the VM instance. Is there an attribute that needs to be returned by the create_port function to prevent nova creating its' own OVS port? Right now nova creates its' own OVS port and plugs the VM to it and I want to avoid that.

Regards,
Stefan
