Install Compute controller services in OpenStack Installation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora - icehouse

[Miroslav Suchý]

This chapter describes how to add these services on controller node. Since many setups have more then one compute node, it may be useful to document how to add additional compute node.

Hi,

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this report. We rely on such reports to improve the documentation.

Of course, it is true that most setups have more than one compute node.

The next section from what you have linked http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/yum/content/nova-compute.html instructs how to "configure another system as a compute node". To add additional compute nodes, all you need to do is follow this section on another system - as many times as you want. No additional configuration of the controller is required (aside from firewall adjustments - but that depends on your own policies).

Do you have any suggestions as to how we could make this clearer?

[Miroslav Suchý (msuchy)]

When you want to install compute node, you must do these 3 steps
 * http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/yum/content/basics-packages.html
 * http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/yum/content/nova-compute.html
 * http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/yum/content/neutron-ml2-compute-node.html

It would be nice to have this mentioned together.

I can imagine having appendix in guide named "Installing another computer node", which would just reference those chapters.
