starting multiple instances at once
Hi,
How do I start multiple instances at once ? Do I loop over startVirtualMachine ? or is there an argument I can pass ?
thanks

Ah. I had misread your original message. My apologies!

True, you are confused. asynblock true => blocks and polls for an async job, set to false => returns jobid, you query asynjob with jobid if you want to.
By setting it to false, it won't block and poll for any async job's result.

Rohit -
Why would you set async to false? It actually simplifies the sumbission of VM creation by pushing it off into the management server so you don't have to sit there while the process runs.

You may use cloudmonkey with asyncblock set to false, and a !for loop to deploy virtualmachines
Checkout the screencast for example on same.

Yeah, I know, it is it would be nice, to avoid looping. Not some critical
feature request.

That wouldn't be very different from running two API calls. The
planners internally will still figure out the deployment destination
one VM after another. So you'll need a planner that does bulk VM
deployment for something like this.

Hi,
I menat a number parameter, like:
command=deployVirtualMachine&count=2&...
That would be nice.
thx

Yeah as of now you will have to loop on the api call. I did hear about this request earlier as well. Would you mind filing a feature request on Jira for this if it doesn't already exist ?
Thanks,

Did you mean to have a number parameter for deployVirtualMachine API or accepting a list of id's for startVirtualMachine API ?

I usually loop on api calls. I don't know of a number parameter...
