Thanks for the link! That is very close to what I was looking for. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">
Is there an easy way to tell what the valid options are for a given configuration option? For example:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br>

Since this is "trunk" documentation it changes daily, but these links offer you more conceptual background info, which I think is what you'll need at this point in your journey. <br>Anne<br><br></div>P.S. For a complete reference listing of all current nova.conf options, refer to <a href="https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample" target="_blank">https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample</a>. Those are what the docs folks will bring into the reference listing for Grizzly.<br>
