I plan to use Cinder as the block storage instead of nova-volume. I have a few question regarding sample nova.conf file mentioned in the doc ( <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/compute-minimum-configuration-settings.html">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/compute-minimum-configuration-settings.html</a> ):</div><div><br></div><div> - In the "VOLUME" section, are those same options applicable for Cinder? Is there any documentation on installing Cinder (even a draft copy).</div><div><br></div><div> - Does Cinder use the same iscsi application (iSCSI Target) and utility to create/manage storage as nova-volume?</div><div> </div><div> - In the section "COMPUTE" section, "libvirt_type=qem". I am guessing since the manual is written specific for kvm, the config parameter should be "libvirt_type=kvm". Is that a typo in the doc?</div><div><br></div><div>- In the section "COMPUTE/APIS", </div><div>
<pre><span style="font-size: 9.000000pt; font-family: 'Courier'"># COMPUTE/APIS: if you have separate configs for separate services
# this flag is required for both nova-api and nova-compute
allow_resize_to_same_host=True
</span></pre></div><div>What exactly does "separate config" mean, separate config file, different configuration? Did not find much info in the docs ( http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/admin/content/compute-options-reference.html ). Should I just leave it to "true".</div><div><br></div><div>- In the section "NETWORK", I am assuming the config "my_ip" is not used by nova, but for internal consumption by the script?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Ahmed.</div><div><br></div></body></html>
