I am a bit confused about how the setup (which server performs which function). This confusion arose after looking at the "Network" section of nova.conf<a></a><a></a> (Page 47).</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">Which of the following best describes the setup in the manual:</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma"> Setup1<a></a><a></a>: Physical server1<a></a><a></a> - controller node and compute node. User can setup additional compute node(s).</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma"> Setup2<a></a><a></a>: Physical server1<a></a><a></a>- controller node. Physical server2<a></a><a></a> - computer node. User can setup additional compute node(s<a></a>).</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">If "Setup1<a></a><a></a>" is the answer, then why does the "/etc/network/interfaces" file (mentioned in section "Pre-configuring the network" on Page 44), does not mention the static IP address of eth0<a></a><a></a> - 192.168.206.130.</font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma">If "Setup2<a></a><a></a>" is the answer, then what is the use of some of the entries in the "network" section of nova.conf<a></a><a></a> file on the controller node (pertaining to bridge and IP address range) mentioned in
