Hi Deepak, For essex, the Nova + Quantum integration relies on Nova to do most of the work. For example, when you invoke "nova-manage network create", the Quantum Manager code in Nova reaches out and creates a corresponding network via the Quantum API. Also, when you create a virtual server using "nova boot", Quantum Manager automatically creates and attaches ports (and does the reverse when the VM is destroyed). Therefore, there's actually no need to drive the Quantum CLI directly to provision things. Thus, the primary use is for troubleshooting (i.e., seeing what is provisioned already)
Moving forward in Folsom, we'll be reworking the Nova + Quantum integration and improving Quantum Authn/Authz, such that we can expose the Quantum API directly to tenants for network creation and port configuration. At that point, the Quantum CLI will be use used more for provisioning new networks and configuring network connectivity.
