The following sections describe the configuration options in
the nova.conf file. You must copy the
nova.conf file to each compute node.
The sample nova.conf files show examples
of specific configurations.
This example nova.conf file
configures a small private cloud with cloud controller
services, database server, and messaging server on the
same server. In this case, CONTROLLER_IP represents the IP
address of a central server, BRIDGE_INTERFACE represents
the bridge such as br100, the NETWORK_INTERFACE represents
an interface to your VLAN setup, and passwords are
represented as DB_PASSWORD_COMPUTE for your Compute (nova)
database password, and RABBIT PASSWORD represents the
password to your message queue installation.
