    BZ#910444, BZ#910447 - Added admonition about configuring message broker.
    
    An issue was identified with the configuration of the Cinder and Nova
    command line management tools. By default in a manually created
    deployment they would (unintentionally) default to using RabbitMQ
    instead of the supported solution for RHOS which is QPID.
    
    As this issue is expected to be temporary in nature it has been
    documented in the guide in the form of an admonition.

This change was actually reverted as when preparing the errata it came to light that the information given was slightly inaccurate.

      BZ#910444, BZ#910447 - Added admonitions about reconfiguring defaults.
    
    An issue was identified with the default configuration of the Cinder and
    Nova command line management tools when installed manually (as opposed to
    using packstack).
    
    As they do not currently consider distribution specific configuration options
    several values relating to the queue broker and database server must be
    set manually.

Can someone document the specific configuration options for Nova AND Cinder that mus be set manually?

(In reply to comment #7)
> Can someone document the specific configuration options for Nova AND Cinder

Bug # 910447 is for Cinder. Effectively the update for both is fairly similar:

"The nova-manage utility which is called when initializing Nova currently only retrieves configuration values from /etc/nova/nova.conf.

As a result it ignores distribution specific configuration values defined in other files. To work around this you must ensure that once you have installed the openstack-nova package:

  * The rpc_backend configuration key in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file is set to nova.rpc.impl_qpid.
  * The sql_connection configuration key in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file is set and contains the correct details of the MySQL server in your environment. 

If using a remote QPID server you must also ensure that the qpid_hostname and qpid_port configuration keys in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file are set. They must contain the correct details of the QPID server for your environment."
