lab 10.2.8 (and possible others) --net-id vs --net-name

Posts: 18

  1. in command
  2. nova boot --flavor smallfry --image cirros \
  3. --security-group web-ssh --key-name finance-key \
  4. --nic net-id=blah-blah bc1
  5. we need to know the id of the network we created, where as we could just use the name
  6. nova boot --flavor smallfry --image cirros \
  7. --security-group web-ssh --key-name finance-key \
  8. --nic net-name=finance-internal bc1
  9. seems easier to me.

probably applies to other situations where the doco calls for an id.

    Why something is done a particular way can be a difficult thing to figure out.  With the advent of domains there is a chance the name would be the same and have a different ID.

    I think that contacting the developer who wrote that code as well as the planning and blueprint committess would be a good place to start in getting these sorts of commands changed.
