Hypervisor Configuration Basics¶
The node where the nova-compute
service is installed and operates on the
same node that runs all of the virtual machines. This is referred to as the
compute node in this guide.
By default, the selected hypervisor is KVM. To change to another hypervisor,
change the virt_type
option in the [libvirt]
section of nova.conf
and restart the nova-compute
service.
Specific options for particular hypervisors can be found in the following sections.
