Hi All,

A quick question regarding nova.conf: How can I modify nova.conf and get it to work with devstack. The problem that I am facing is after modifying nova.conf, I have to reboot so as to restart services. But when I reboot, devstack needs to be reinstalled all over again using stack.sh and in the process it rewrites /etc/nova/nova.conf.

You can restart services without reboot like this

sudo service nova-compute restart

Also according to documentation we can set flags in nova.conf using --<flag_name>=<flag_value> format. Is that an obsolete format ? (because the nova.conf that devstack creates don't have any -- in it).

Essex has new format for nova.conf without dashes.

Please let me know how to effectively modify nova.conf so that the changes take effect (I am looking forward to change the network manager...)

Thanks!

Salman
