[Openstack] Hyper-V as Compute node with OpenStack Havana

Pedro,

Thanks for the quick response and the info.

We would like to have the Hyper-V compute node installed using the
OpenStack code base (*Havana*) without using the installer.

Referring the guide -
http://docs.openstack.org/havana/config-reference/content//hyper-v-virtualization-platform.html,
when we tried to install the Hyper-V compute node we could not locate the
nova-compute.py as mentioned in the doc (snippet below):
 Run Compute with Hyper-V

To start the nova-compute service, run this command from a console in the
Windows server:

C:\C:\python27\python.exe c:\openstack\nova\bin\nova-compute.py

We could not locate the file in the code base either.

Since, Hyper-V (Role in Windows 2012 R2) is feasible with *OpenStack Havana*,
is there some documentation which provides guidelines on how to achieve
that, other than the one we are referring?

Regards,
Priti Sarap
