[nova] Boot image with multiple ports

Asked by Rory Schellekens

Our software requires specific mac addresses. For that I configured six ports with quantum:
quantum port-create --tenant-id 3048e1ec37284542bf592178f14efa79 --mac-address "00:50:56:00:00:05" project

When I try to boot the image I get a 500 error, I use the following command:
nova --debug boot mySC1 --image "00eefdf1-7f59-4610-a2f2-a2c5c7b19db2" --flavor 6 --nic port-id="addf792f-2716-428c-aa68-3427c9c5a349" --nic port-id="6431bb76-9bdd-4b97-a40b-1591dc08d23a" --nic port-id="46eac78c-5c5a-43b1-b955-8151f63dca6b" --nic port-id="b29c8a7a-3e6f-4745-a035-0600bc7efc35" --nic port-id="e425cc01-de84-4eed-8ca6-27ded2894f00" --nic port-id="c10faf9e-8b14-483e-8596-46c7fe7823b3"

When I boot the image with only one port it works.

Is it possible to add six ports to an instance? If so which command do I need to use?

I am also facing the same issue. If i send in 2 ports during provisioning then it fails but works with 1 port.
Is this a bug or my paylaod is incorect. Since Rory faced issue with cli i am assuming my rest payload is ok
This is the rest paylaod.
