SYNOPSIS

nova-manage <category> <action> [<args>]


DESCRIPTION

nova-manage controls cloud computing instances by managing nova users, nova projects, nova roles, 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>]
 
For example, to obtain a list of all projects: nova-manage project list
 
Run without arguments to see a list of available command categories: nova-manage
 
Categories are user, project, role, 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 user
 
These sections describe the available categories and arguments for nova-manage.
