Re: Can I create a VM with 2 NICs while there is only one network?

 

Nova does not have an option for creating 'unbound NICs', which would be
tantamount to unplugged network cards, if this is what you want to achieve.

Using Quantum you can create a few ports on some network, set these ports
administratively down, and boot the VM with this ports (--nic port-id).
Even if Quantum does not allow you to move these ports to another network
perhaps it might still satisfy your requirements.
