The purpose for common is to host files that are used in multiple guides. These files were only in use in the configuration reference. In addition, the content and structure of these files was not very conducive to sharing between guides. Therefore, this patch simply moves the hypervisor sections from common into the compute area of the config-reference. Should (in the future) some content from these be required in - eg Install Guide or Cloud Admin Guide, it is likely best that they are chopped apart with appropriate sections divided appropriately. backport: havana Change-Id: Ie153ccf810de2dccd32cb7b6ee3076fbac365605

are mapped to LPAR names in Power Systems, make sure

<literal>instance_name_template</literal>
|

config option in <filename>nova.conf</filename> yields names that have 31 or fewer characters.
