Hi Natarajan:

Additional VIMs would be different OpenStack instances, so if you had three OpenStack nodes installed you could create a VIM for each.

Hope this helps

Adding to Bob's note, currently Tacker's Multi-VIM is restricted different OpenStack instance... specifically the restriction is auth_url needs to be unique (you can't add the second VIM with a same auth_url and a different tenant). However, I think it is time now to remove this restriction. I will convert this ask into an enhancement request.

Can you help with this problem?
