It does, but it splits it into N concurrent single server requests so that they get spread out amongst different nova-compute processes - getting you parallelisation: and the code for single server requests is sufficiently complex that having a rarely used path that preserves the batch seems undesirable to me. Besides which, as Ironic also dispatches work to many different backend workers, sending a batch to Ironic would just result in it having to split it out as well. -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
