Description Martin Magr 2013-05-02 10:04:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
cinder-manage ignores --sql_connection parameter and uses some default. Not sure from where, because this option is commented in cinder.conf:
[para@virtual-rhel packstack]$ sudo cat /etc/cinder/cinder.conf | grep connection
#connection_type=<None>
#sql_connection=mysql://cinder:cinder@localhost/cinder
#sql_connection_debug=0

I've added "print 'used connection: %s' % FLAGS.sql_connection" to cinder/db/sqlalchemy/session.py:113 and output is following:
[para@virtual-rhel packstack]$ sudo cinder-manage --sql_connection=mysql://cinder:66ff39612f704b01.122.71/cinder db sync
used connection: mysql://cinder:cinder@localhost/cinder
2013-05-02 11:57:48 10457 WARNING cinder.db.sqlalchemy.session [-] SQL connection failed. 10 attempts left.
