You would need to patch 2 things:

1) puppet-nova and add the parameter in the class that requires it.
Which Nova service does require it? If all, add the param in init.pp
otherwise in the service class. Ping us on #puppet-openstack if you
need any help, in the case you're not familiar with Puppet. We'll
enjoy to help.

2) tripleo-heat-templates and the Nova composable services that
require this parameter set with Hiera. Same thing, if you need help,
please ping us on #tripleo.

Thanks,
