Simon Waterhouse commented on CLOUDSTACK-645: --------------------------------------------- This is a great feature; I would like to suggest taking a step further and promote NIC to be a first class object in CloudStack - so one can create/destroy NIC and attach/detach from a VM. I have a use case where I want to reset a VM (clean instantiation from template) but preserve network identity which I could do by explicitly managing the NIC. > add/remove network on VM > ------------------------ > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-645 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-645 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: Network Controller > Reporter: Marcus Sorensen > Assignee: Marcus Sorensen > Fix For: 4.1.0 > > > We would like the ability to move VMs between networks and/or reconfigure a > VM's network, in order to accomodate hybrid/traditional server loads. We've > implemented 3 API calls and would like to submit these for the community to > edit/adjust/approve. The three calls are > 'addNicToVirtualMachine','removeNicFromVirtualMachine', and > 'updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine'. One provides a VM Id and a network id, > default Nics cannot be removed. The names might need adjustment to better fit > the API, perhaps 'attachNetworkToVirtualMachine', etc. Looking for feedback, > advice, potential pitfalls... does a feature branch need to be created or > just a review? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
