isn't that documented on the man page (doc/source/man/novamanage.rst) ? or are you asking for more detail ?
this is where you told us to document it when we asked last.

There's some fairly basic docs in novamanage.rst as Ken points out. Does that suffice, Anne?

My guess is that the section "Using the nova-manage command" in
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/managing-the-cloud.html

could be extended with content from nova-manage.rst, or a note added to simply encourage people to run "man nova-manage"

Assuming it does suffice and nothing needs to be done on Nova's side. Please set back to Confirmed if it doesn't

    Slight fleshing of nova-manage doc

    This is perhaps a stop-gap change until the proper CLI doc is in
    place. As most commandline use is moving towards nova client, rather
    than nova-manage simply extending
    the phrasing a little and encouraging users to read the man page.

    Placing nova client first, based on feedback

    fixes bug 766703

    Second patch - addresses concerns from previous patches about leading
    with novaclient, and emphasising that nova-manage is only for
    administrators.
