Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:26:39 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-opts-group.

Description:

There are a bunch of libvirt specific flags which are currently in the default group. This is confusing to users of other hypervisors, and poor hygiene. We should move these options into a group of their own.

Specification URL (additional information):

None

Comment 2 Stephen Gordon 2014-01-23 20:42:48 UTC

Moving to POST based on upstream status (Implemented).

Comment 3 Stephen Gordon 2014-03-03 20:06:35 UTC

Hi Solly,

Do we need to provide some additional documentation around config migration as a result of this one?

Thanks,

Steve

Comment 4 Solly Ross 2014-03-03 20:53:40 UTC

I believe all of the new options have their deprecated parameter set to the corresponding old option, but additional docs wouldn't be a bad idea.  The general gist of the change is that options that were previously 'libvirt_xyz' became 'xyz' under '[libvirt]' (with the exception of a couple, like 'libvirt_type', which became 'virt_type' under '[libvirt]').

Comment 5 Stephen Gordon 2014-03-04 16:03:31 UTC

Setting requires_doc_text- as I set a release note on the more general parent bp. That said per comment # 4 I think "in guide" documentation is warranted here.

Summer, I think this is a topic for the Configuration Reference Guide?

Comment 6 Summer Long 2014-03-04 22:03:48 UTC

Thanks, Steve. I'll raise it as soon as devel and qa ack this for v5.

TBH at this point whether it's ack'd or not, it's in our packages, but I'll be following up on the list with the nova team in bulk.
