nova quantum integration rest api to attach port to a vm

Asked by Ritesh Shetty

I have created a port using the /ports rest api
I am trying to send the port_id while provisioning using /servers, i want to know the REST API request body for doing so, i have searched extensively but haven't found any example

Is there a nova REST API sample for attaching the port_id ??

nova boot shows for examples but i need rest api

the client command is:
nova boot --image xx --flavor 1 --nic port-id=<your portid> myserver
you can use nova --debug boot --image xx --flavor 1 --nic port-id=<your portid> myserver to watch what URL it is using.
