Nova install guide should refer to placement install guide as a pre-req when configuring nova to use placement

[Ricardo Alexandre Silveira]

Creation of the Placement user and their permissions as well as endpoints are not in this Stein documentation. This creates errors. I ask you to add in the documentation.

[Matt Riedemann (mriedem)]

What about this?

I understand, it's separate from the documentation so I did not find it. I installed separate placement and it worked in my environment. Thank you in advance for the return.

When you say "it's separate from the documentation" which documentation were you looking in before?

[Ricardo Alexandre Silveira (ricardoas30)]

In the stein's own documentation. but I noticed you have a link well below
the placement section.

OK so I think what you're asking for is within the nova install docs, in the section that talks about configuring nova for placement, link to the placement install docs, is that correct?

Looking at https://docs.openstack.org/nova/stein/install/controller-install-ubuntu.html it's also talking about configuring nova for glance and neutron. In the glance section, it doesn't reference the separate glance docs, but the neutron section does:

"Configure the [neutron] section of /etc/nova/nova.conf. Refer to the Networking service install guide for more information."

So I think you're just asking that the nova install guide link to the placement install guide similar to how the nova install guide links to the neutron install guide, correct?

Hi everyone!

I would like to take this issue and try to solve it. This will be my first contribution to a launchpad repository, so I might take longer than usual to solve it.

    [Nova] Add reference to Placement installation guide

    Placement service has to be installed and configured with user and
    endpoints before Nova installation. But in
    stein release it is not mentioned in the prerequisites of Nova. Added
    reference to Placement installation guide in the prerequisites section
    of nova installation guide.
