Comment 0 for bug 1799727

After changing the value of cpu_allocation_ratio in nova.conf from 16 to 1 and restarting nova containers, the ProviderTree still uses the old value

(A patch with extra debugging is applied to the system for ProviderTree information)

Nova.conf setting:

cpu_allocation_ratio=1

[root@compute-0 ~]# docker restart nova_compute nova_libvirt
nova_compute
nova_libvirt

Inside Nova-compute.log
