Open Stack

 Reading the initial bug report here: 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1663485
 as well as the proposed fix here: 
 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/438328
 and the Cells documentation here: 
 https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/cells.html#cells-v2

 my understanding is that I need to have at least one extra DB in order 
 for Cells to work before issuing the command to setup cells.

 Is my understanding correct?
 Has anybody else overcome this obstacle?

 Best regards,

 George
