CS 4.1.1 -- Multiple NICs for instance

Hello everybody,

is it possible assigning more than one NIC to a VM instance? If so, 
which way can I perform this task?

Thanks inadvance,

Gaspare

In 4.2, we do support a feature called "Multiple Ips per guest NIC". May
be this is another simple way to achieve some of the things (mentioned
some of the use cases below) that we want to with multiple NICs in same
physical network.


* Host multiple SSL websites on a single instance. You can install
multiple SSL certificates on a single instance, each associated with a
distinct IP address.
* Build network appliances. Network appliances such as firewalls and load
balancers generally work best when they have access to multiple IP
addresses on a network interface.
* Move private IP addresses between interfaces or instances. Applications
that are bound to specific IP addresses can be moved between instances

Caveat: Its been ages since I tested such a configuration on Linux so YMMV.

I have seen weird routing issues happen on the host side if you have 2 NICs having IP addresses on the same network segment if you dont have proper static routes. This is with physical Linux hosts. It is generally considered a bad idea to run production systems with such a configuration.

Perhaps the same rules apply to VMs also and hence the artifical limit in assigning mutliple NICs on the same network.

deployVirtualMachine takes list of network ids as parameter. You can make
use of it.

If you want to attach additional network after the vm is deployed then
there is another API I.e. "addNicToVirtualMachine"
