This patch * Removes content that is covered by installation (adding group, fixing file permissions, multiple compute nodes) * Removes empty section (hypervisors) * Merges duplicate content (overview/explanation of nova.conf) * Flattens section structure, and removes "post-install config" section label that was a legacy of previous structure * Addresses outdated reference to Xen configuration info. Closes-bug: 1095095 Change-Id: I8922606fe38d30d5ac6288901a866c635c686fbe

<para>The OpenStack Compute service is a cloud computing fabric

OpenStack Compute to host and manage cloud computing systems. This

<title>Configure resize</title>
|
|
<para>Resize (or Server resize) is the ability to change the
|
|
flavor of a server, thus allowing it to upscale or downscale
|
|
according to user needs. For this feature to work properly, you
|
|
might need to configure some underlying virt layers.</para>

<section xml:id="kvm-resize">
|
|
<title>KVM</title>
|
|
<para>Resize on KVM is implemented currently by transferring the
|
|
images between compute nodes over ssh. For KVM you need
|
|
hostnames to resolve properly and passwordless ssh access
|
|
between your compute hosts. Direct access from one compute
|
|
host to another is needed to copy the VM file across.</para>

|
<para>Cloud end users can find out how to resize a server by

reading the <link

<para>To get resize to work with XenServer (and XCP), you need
|
|
to establish a root trust between all hypervisor nodes and
|
|
provide an /image mount point to your hypervisors dom0.</para>
