Hi Martin,
you can find some clues in nova.log,you can also try to enable debug log in nova.conf ( debug = True)

I have hit another wall ,i think its a result of my changing the instance_path to /home in the /etc/nova/nova.conf
Error: Failed to launch instance "test": Please try again later [Error: No valid host was found. ].
still checking the doc you sent me but just thought while i research on my own the mailing list will have something on the fingertips

I just installed openstack and im still learning everything I can get my
hands on , from youtube videos to openstack docs and just thought I can join
a mailing list to speed up the process of acquiring openstack knowledge.
This is my case : I have openstack all_in_one and right now everthing is
just on one machine [from reading the docs seems like I can expand my
openstack projects [cinder ,nova etc] to other nodes and that will be for
later]
Right now I have installed the RDO icehouse packstack and its on a centos
machine , with 4 gig. So far so good.On the same machine I have configured a
/home directory with 1 terabyte for storing my images and when I open
openstack dashboard , I cant seem to find a way to reference it ,how can I
add that filesystem as my storage for my VMs
My filestystem is as follows
[root@cumulonimbus ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_cumulonimbus-lv_root
-------------------------------------------on open stack dashboard ,it seems
to recognize this only
50G 2.6G 45G 6% /
tmpfs 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 477M 49M 403M 11% /boot

Sounds like you're looking for instances path? In other words the location you want the qcow files for the instances to live?
That's set up in the nova.conf file as: instances_path
Check out the docs page here and see if that helps. Items like conf settings don't show up in the dashboard by the way.
