Ahmed,<br><br>     You would not need to install nova-compute on the controller node , nova-compute is just used to provide you computational power for vm's , so on that node where you want to host your virtual machines install nova-compute on that node.On controller there would be only nova-api,nova-scheduler,keystone.<br>
nova-scheduler there on the controller would decide on which compute node will your vm gets provisioned.<br>Hope this answers your question.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 4:53 AM, Ahmed Al-Mehdi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ahmed@coraid.com" target="_blank">ahmed@coraid.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
