[3] Configure Networking.
The follows is for the case you use legacy nova-network function.
But if you use Neutron Networking function, Refer to here to configure it.
Anyway, legacy nova-network function is officially not recommended.
[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add follows in [DEFAULT] section

network_driver=nova.network.linux_net
libvirt_vif_driver=nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver

security_group_api=nova
network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager
network_size=254
allow_same_net_traffic=False
multi_host=True
send_arp_for_ha=True
share_dhcp_address=True
force_dhcp_release=True
# specify nic for public

public_interface=eth0
# specify any name you like for bridge

flat_network_bridge=br100
# specify nic for flat DHCP bridge

flat_interface=lo
[4] Start Nova Service.
If you don't use legacy nova-network, exclude the word "network" below.
If you separate Compute Nodes, exclude the word "compute" below, too.
[root@dlp ~]#
for service in api objectstore compute conductor network scheduler cert consoleauth; do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/openstack-nova-$service start
chkconfig openstack-nova-$service on
