Positional arguments:
name. The name of the server.flavor. The flavor of the server.image. The image of the server.--nic net-id=. Creates a NIC on the server. Specify this option multiple times to create multiple NICs.
If you do not specify any networks on the --nic parameter, PublicNet and
ServiceNet are attached to your server.
Note
ServiceNet is labeled as private and PublicNet is labeled as public
in the network list.
If you specify additional networks through the —nic parameter, these
networks, in addition to PublicNet and ServiceNet, are attached to your server.
You can specify the optional --no-public and --no-service-net
parameters to opt out of attaching PublicNet and ServiceNet to your server.
The operation returns information about the new server, as shown in the following output.
