Hypervisor Configuration Basics
The node where the nova-compute
service is installed and
operates on the same node that runs all of the virtual machines. This is
referred to as the compute node in this guide.
By default, the selected hypervisor is KVM. To change to another
hypervisor, change the virt_type
option in the
[libvirt]
section of nova.conf
and restart the
nova-compute
service.
Specific options for particular hypervisors can be found in the following sections.
