OpenStack Compute (nova)

Install nova-manage on a non-compute node?

Asked by Zak Estrada

I'm trying to run nova-manage on a node running zero openstack services. I've installed the nova-common package which provides me with the nova-manage script. I'm not sure how I can configure it to talk with my nova controller. Just running the command shows nothing:
---
root@logging:~# nova-manage service list
Binary Host Zone Status State Updated_At
---

But the same command does what I expect on a nova-compute node:
---
root@cloud1:~# nova-manage service list
Binary Host Zone Status State Updated_At
nova-consoleauth cloud1 nova enabled :-) 2013-03-01 04:57:12
nova-scheduler cloud1 nova enabled :-) 2013-03-01 04:57:12
nova-network cloud1 nova enabled :-) 2013-03-01 04:57:05
nova-cert cloud1 nova enabled :-) 2013-03-01 04:57:12

So far, I've replicated all of the rabbit parameters from 'cloud1' to the 'logging' node.

Thanks!

In case anyone is interested, it's the correct sql parameters that will allow nova-manage to work. This makes complete sense to me, but for some reason I was expecting it to only need keystone and REST.
