Configuring a Compute Node in OpenStack (havana) lacks mySQL instructions

[David Bresnick]

URL: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/install-guide/install/apt/content/nova-compute.html

The "Configuring a Compute Node" page instructs the user to install the client portions of nova-compute and delete the sqlite file generated, but never instructs the user to add the mysql connection parameters in /etc/nova/nova.conf needed for the service to interact with the rest of the cluster. Unless I managed to mess up my install some other way, I believe this results in an orphaned compute node that can't talk to the database and some really confusing behavior.

Strange - this was in there before - it must have been removed accidentally.

For your reference: nova-compute no longer needs database access, since it is now mediated by the nova-conductor service. However, when using multi_host mode with nova-network, it is still required.

    Configure nova-network database access on debian/ubuntu

    The database configuration disappeared from the debian/ubuntu
    installation guide. Add the configuration bits in nova.conf, as done for
    other distributions.
