Essex was released with support for both types of configuration files, flagfiles (using the --) and the .ini file style, being the "nova.conf.sample" file included in nova upstream code using the .ini format. <div>
<br></div><div>From a deployer point of view, this can be really confusing since official docs, use the .ini format, but Ubuntu 12.04 and docs based on ubuntu, use the old deprecated flagfile format.</div><div><br><div>I think that we should start using only .ini files and stop supporting the old flagfile behavior. The sooner we remove from the development cycle, the more time the documenters and distributions have to catch up with the "new" format. Anyway, nova-manage can still be used to convert from flagfiles to .ini files: (I wouldn't remove this in folsom cycle)</div>
<div><br><div>$ ./bin/nova-manage config convert --help<div>Usage: nova-manage config convert <args> [options]</div><div><br></div><div>Options:</div><div> -h, --help show this help message and exit</div><div>
--infile=<path> old-style flagfile to convert to config</div><div> --outfile=<path> path for output file. Writes configto stdout if not</div><div> specified.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
