Hi, According to the help text, “—min-count <number>” boot at least <number> servers (limited by quota):
--min-count <number> Boot at least <number> servers (limited by quota). I used devstack to deploy OpenStack (version Kilo) in a multi-node setup: 1 Controller/Network + 2 Compute nodes I update the tenant demo default quota “instances" and “cores" from ’10’ and ’20’ to ‘100’ and ‘200’: localadmin@qa4:~/devstack$ nova quota-show --tenant 62fe9a8a2d58407d8aee860095f11550 --user eacb7822ccf545eab9398b332829b476 +-----------------------------+-------+ | Quota | Limit | +-----------------------------+-------+ | instances | 100 | <<<<< | cores | 200 | <<<<< | ram | 51200 | | floating_ips | 10 | | fixed_ips | -1 | | metadata_items | 128 | | injected_files | 5 | | injected_file_content_bytes | 10240 | | injected_file_path_bytes | 255 | | key_pairs | 100 | | security_groups | 10 | | security_group_rules | 20 | | server_groups | 10 | | server_group_members | 10 | +-----------------------------+-------+ When I boot 50 VMs using “—min-count 50”, only 48 VMs come up. localadmin@qa4:~/devstack$ nova boot --image cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec --flavor 1 --nic net-id=5b464333-bad0-4fc1-a2f0-310c47b77a17 --min-count 50 vm- There is no error in logs; and it happens consistently. I also tried “—min-count 60” and only 48 VMs com up. In Horizon, left pane “Admin” -> “System” -> “Hypervisors”, it shows both Compute hosts, each with 32 total VCPUs for a grand total of 64, but only 48 used. Is this normal behavior or is there any other setting to change in order to use all 64 VCPUs? Thanks, Danny
