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.
