The pike installation guide instructs to edit /etc/nova/nova.conf when configuring a compute node.
As can be seen from the status report:
# service nova-compute status

├─58921 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/

the default file is /etc/nova/
The guide need to be updated.
Well, to be fair, it's listing two config files:
CGroup: /system. slice/nova- compute. service nova-compute --config- file=/etc/ nova/nova. conf --config- file=/etc/ nova/nova- compute. conf --log-file= /var/log/ nova/nova- compute. log privsep- helper --config-file /etc/nova/nova.conf --config-file /etc/nova/ nova-compute. conf
├─58921 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/
└─58977 /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/
so it's using both "--config- file=/etc/ nova/nova. conf --config- file=/etc/ nova/nova- compute. conf"; I'm not sure what the contents of either file is though, since both shouldn't be necessary.
