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.
|
|
|
|
Here are the general ``nova.conf`` options that are used to
|
|
configure the compute node's hypervisor: :ref:`nova-hypervisor`
|
|
|
|
Specific options for particular hypervisors can be found in
|
|
the following sections.
