[Openstack] nova-manage required or deprecated for essex?

I thought live-migration can happen through the nova CLI now (that is quite new I think).

However, there are also some commands for the XenServer storage migration volume driver that can only be done using nova-manage. I assume the intention is to add nova api extensions at some point, so that could be considered deprecated (Renuka should be able to confirm)

Cheers,
John

Hi Lorin -
My understanding is nova-manage image is not available any longer, but based on the team meeting on , we are not planning to remove it from docs since it's just too much work in the timed release timeframe for Essex.

For certain nova-manage image is not available, that's the point behind doc bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/957618

For Essex, the docs (and admins) still need to use nova-manage commands for:
-network creation
-migrating from deprecated auth to Keystone
-quick status checks on running services (nova-manage service list)
-database sync (migration)
-live migration seems to be using it a bit

Most other admin tasks can be accomplished in other ways and aren't documented with nova-manage commands.

Let me know if this list of nova-manage commands sounds accurate - Vish, Joe Heck, Brian Waldon?
Thanks,
Anne

Is nova-manage deprecated in essex, or are there some commands that still require nova-manage? I'd like to update the docs accordingly.

Yaguang Tang in this bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/957618> said "nova-manage will be deprecated". But I couldn't tell from the context if he was referring specifically to "nova-manage image", or to nova-manage in general.

Right now, the docs have about 100 mentions of nova-manage:

[(master) docbkx]$ find . -name '*.xml' | xargs grep "nova-manage"| wc -l
      98



Take care,

Lorin
