RobiJoe 2d5db66283 [user guides] Change nova filenames to reference os commands

This patch adjusts filenames to remove the word `nova`, which
suggests users will run nova commands. Instead, adding `os`
indicates users will run OpenStack commands.

The patch also includes minor adjustments to wording, and
section references.

Configure SSH between compute nodes

If you are resizing or migrating an instance between hypervisors, you might encounter an SSH (Permission denied) error. Ensure that each node is configured with SSH key authentication so that the Compute service can use SSH to move disks to other nodes.

To share a key pair between compute nodes, complete the following steps:

On the first node, obtain a key pair (public key and private key). Use the root key that is in the /root/.ssh/id_rsa and /root/.ssh/id_ras.pub directories or generate a new key pair.
Run setenforce 0 to put SELinux into permissive mode.
Enable login abilities for the nova user:
```
# usermod -s /bin/bash nova
```
Switch to the nova account.
```
# su nova
```

As root, create the folder that is needed by SSH and place the private key that you obtained in step 1 into this folder:

mkdir -p /var/lib/nova/.ssh
cp <private key>  /var/lib/nova/.ssh/id_rsa
echo 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' >> /var/lib/nova/.ssh/config
chmod 600 /var/lib/nova/.ssh/id_rsa /var/lib/nova/.ssh/authorized_keys

Repeat steps 2-4 on each node.

Note

The nodes must share the same key pair, so do not generate a new key pair for any subsequent nodes.
From the first node, where you created the SSH key, run:
```
ssh-copy-id -i <pub key> nova@remote-host
```
This command installs your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys folder.
Ensure that the nova user can now log in to each node without using a password:
```
# su nova
$ ssh *computeNodeAddress*
$ exit
```

As root on each node, restart both libvirt and the Compute services:

# systemctl restart libvirtd.service
# systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute.service
