This documentation should be of use in relation to creating a VM and attaching it to a particular network, http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/advanceed_vm_creation.html. It describes the various means of attaching a VM to a network/networks using the 'nova' and 'quantum' command line tools. > what is the difference between the compute node and the openstack controller > in the case of Nova?

In general the compute node(s) host the VMs while the controller node hosts the nova/quantum/etc services. You can also have a separate Network node hosting the quantum services. Appendix A in the Networking Guide outlines a few deployment options. http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/app_demo.html On 9 July 2013 16:31, othmane <douiriothm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > Im newbie to openstack, my question is: when I create an instance via nova, > can I specify which network the instance should e attached to?
