Public bug reported:

installed nova-2013.1.g3, and when attempting to run 'nova-compute' with
valid options..getting error "ERROR nova.virt.driver [-] Compute driver
option required, but not specified"

nova.conf has the ‘compute_driver’ specified. I tried both options
VMWareESXDriver and VMWareVCDriver..but no luck. May be I am missing a
minor step here. Appreciate any help.
