enable to select a specific subnet in a net when creating a vm

The code used to invoke new instance and assign it to network can be found in: nova/network/neutronv2/api.py. Specifically, the following function is used to create a port for an instance: API._create_port(). It's passed the following argument, among other things: ":param fixed_ip: Optional fixed IP to use from the given network." It's a simple string representation of the desired IP address.

What we miss is passing specific subnet_id instead of fixed_ip to the function, and properly setting it for Neutron port POST request.

If you are still working on this, please re-submit via nova-specs. If not, please mark as obsolete, and add a quick comment to describe why. --johnthetubaguy (20th April 2014)

I'll submit the nova-spec in these days. --wingwj (4th Jun 2014)

    CreateVM supports subnet specified

You should not set a milestone target unless the blueprint has been properly prioritized by the project drivers.

Feature Proposal Freeze means this must not land in juno, because it appears like the code is not all currently ready to be reviewed. To be able to merge in kilo, we would first need to merge a kilo spec. More details on the exact process will be available on the ML shortly. --johnthetubaguy 22nd August 2014

Transfer it to kiwik. --wingwj 27th March 2015

Sorry, we are not longer accepting nova-specs or blueprints for liberty.
Please move your nova-spec into specs/backlog/approved/ so it is ready for the next release.
