<title>OpenStack Compute</title>
<para>The OpenStack Compute service is a cloud computing
fabric controller, the main part of an IaaS system. It can
be used for hosting and manging cloud computing systems.
This section provides detail on all of the configuration
options involved in Openstack Compute.</para>
<section xml:id="configuring-openstack-compute-basics">
<?dbhtml stop-chunking?>
<title>Post-Installation Configuration</title>
<para>Configuring your Compute installation involves many
configuration files: the <filename>nova.conf</filename> file,
the <filename>api-paste.ini</filename> file, and related Image
and Identity management configuration files. This section
contains the basics for a simple multi-node installation, but
Compute can be configured many ways. You can find networking
options and hypervisor options described in separate
chapters.</para>
<section xml:id="setting-flags-in-nova-conf-file">
<title>Setting Configuration Options in the
<filename>nova.conf</filename> File</title>
<para>The configuration file <filename>nova.conf</filename> is
installed in <filename>/etc/nova</filename> by default. A
default set of options are already configured in
<filename>nova.conf</filename> when you install
manually.</para>
<para>Create a <literal>nova</literal> group, so you can set
permissions on the configuration file:</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo addgroup nova</userinput></screen>
<para>The <filename>nova.conf</filename> file should have its
owner set to <literal>root:nova</literal>, and mode set to
<literal>0640</literal>, since the file could contain your
MySQL servers username and password. You also want to ensure
that the <literal>nova</literal> user belongs to the
<literal>nova</literal> group.</para>
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo usermod -g nova nova</userinput>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>chown -R <option>username</option>:nova /etc/nova</userinput>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>chmod 640 /etc/nova/nova.conf</userinput></screen>

<title>Configuring Logging</title>
<para>You can use <filename>nova.conf</filename> file to configure where Compute logs events, the level of
logging, and log formats.</para>
<para>To customize log formats for OpenStack Compute, use these
configuration option settings.</para>

<title>Configuring Authentication and Authorization</title>
<para>There are different methods of authentication for the
OpenStack Compute project, including no authentication. The
preferred system is the OpenStack Identity Service, code-named
Keystone.</para>
<para>To customize authorization settings for Compute, see these
configuration settings in <filename>nova.conf</filename>.</para>

<para>To customize certificate authority settings for Compute, see
these configuration settings in
<filename>nova.conf</filename>.</para>

<para>To customize Compute and the Identity service to use LDAP as
a backend, refer to these configuration settings in

<title>Configuring 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, some underlying virt layers may need further
configuration; this section describes the required configuration
steps for each hypervisor layer provided by OpenStack.</para>
<section xml:id="xenserver-resize">
<title>XenServer</title>
<para>To get resize to work with XenServer (and XCP), please
refer to the Dom0 Modifications for Resize/Migration Support
section in the OpenStack Compute Administration Guide.</para>
