Open Stack

 All,

 I am trying to deploy OpenStack Ocata on bare metal servers using the 
 official guide from here:
 https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/install-guide-rdo/nova-compute-install.html

 Unfortunately I have stuck at deploying the Compute Node due to the 
 following error in the logs when I try to start nova-compute service:

 2017-03-02 00:27:16.052 4236 INFO nova.service [-] Starting compute

 As far as I can understand the problem is that there isn't a placement 
 service and that the compute node hasn't been configured. Furthermore 
 and if my understanding is correct this (the "placement" service) is 
 compulsory in Ocata so I believe that this is a bug and have already 
 filed one for it 
 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1669163).

 Can someone help me overcome this problem in order to proceed with the 
 installation? What do I have to do? Do I have to create a new service or 
 just edit the "nova.conf" file or maybe both (what do I have to put in 
 that case in nova.conf?) ?

 Looking forward for your answers!

 Best regards,
