:Manual group: cloud computing
SYNOPSIS
========
nova-manage <category> <action> [<args>]
DESCRIPTION
===========
nova-manage controls cloud computing instances by managing shell selection, vpn connections, and floating IP address configuration. More information about OpenStack Nova is at http://nova.openstack.org.
OPTIONS
=======
The standard pattern for executing a nova-manage command is:
``nova-manage <category> <command> [<args>]``
Run without arguments to see a list of available command categories:
``nova-manage``
Categories are project, shell, vpn, and floating. Detailed descriptions are below.
You can also run with a category argument such as user to see a list of all commands in that category:
``nova-manage floating``
These sections describe the available categories and arguments for nova-manage.
Nova Db
~~~~~~~
``nova-manage db version``
Print the current database version.
``nova-manage db sync``
Sync the database up to the most recent version. This is the standard way to create the db as well.
Nova Logs
~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage logs errors``
Displays nova errors from log files.
``nova-manage logs syslog <number>``
Displays nova alerts from syslog.
Nova Shell
~~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage shell bpython``
Starts a new bpython shell.
``nova-manage shell ipython``
Starts a new ipython shell.
``nova-manage shell python``
Starts a new python shell.
``nova-manage shell run``
Starts a new shell using python.
``nova-manage shell script <path/scriptname>``
Runs the named script from the specified path with flags set.
Nova VPN
~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage vpn list``
Displays a list of projects, their IP port numbers, and what state they're in.
``nova-manage vpn run <projectname>``
Starts the VPN for the named project.
``nova-manage vpn spawn``
Runs all VPNs.
Nova Floating IPs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage floating create <ip_range> [--pool <pool>] [--interface <interface>]``
Creates floating IP addresses for the given range, optionally specifying
a floating pool and a network interface.
``nova-manage floating delete <ip_range>``
Deletes floating IP addresses in the range given.
``nova-manage floating list``
Displays a list of all floating IP addresses.
Nova Flavor
~~~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage flavor list``
Outputs a list of all active flavors to the screen.
``nova-manage flavor list --all``
Outputs a list of all flavors (active and inactive) to the screen.
``nova-manage flavor create <name> <memory> <vCPU> <local_storage> <flavorID> <(optional) swap> <(optional) RXTX Quota> <(optional) RXTX Cap>``
creates a flavor with the following positional arguments:
* memory (expressed in megabytes)
* vcpu(s) (integer)
* local storage (expressed in gigabytes)
* flavorid (unique integer)
* swap space (expressed in megabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
* RXTX quotas (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
* RXTX cap (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
``nova-manage flavor delete <name>``
Delete the flavor with the name <name>. This marks the flavor as inactive and cannot be launched. However, the record stays in the database for archival and billing purposes.
``nova-manage flavor delete <name> --purge``
Purges the flavor with the name <name>. This removes this flavor from the database.
Nova Instance_type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The instance_type command is provided as an alias for the flavor command. All the same subcommands and arguments from nova-manage flavor can be used.
Nova Images
~~~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage image image_register <path> <owner>``
Registers an image with the image service.
``nova-manage image kernel_register <path> <owner>``
Registers a kernel with the image service.
``nova-manage image ramdisk_register <path> <owner>``
Registers a ramdisk with the image service.
``nova-manage image all_register <image_path> <kernel_path> <ramdisk_path> <owner>``
Registers an image kernel and ramdisk with the image service.
``nova-manage image convert <directory>``
Converts all images in directory from the old (Bexar) format to the new format.
Nova VM
~~~~~~~~~~~
``nova-manage vm list [host]``
Show a list of all instances. Accepts optional hostname (to show only instances on specific host).
``nova-manage live-migration <ec2_id> <destination host name>``
Live migrate instance from current host to destination host. Requires instance id (which comes from euca-describe-instance) and destination host name (which can be found from nova-manage service list).
FILES
========
The nova-manage.conf file contains configuration information in the form of python-gflags.
