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.

Updates the indicated user keys, indicating with T or F if the user is an admin user. Leave any argument blank if you do not want to
update it.
Nova Project
nova-manage project add <projectname>
Add a nova project with the name <projectname> to the database.
nova-manage project create <projectname>
Create a new nova project with the name <projectname> (you still need to do nova-manage project add <projectname> to add it to the data-
base).
nova-manage project delete <projectname>
Delete a nova project with the name <projectname>.
nova-manage project environment <projectname> <username>
Exports environment variables for the named project to a file named novarc.
nova-manage project list
Outputs a list of all the projects to the screen.
nova-manage project quota <projectname>
Outputs the size and specs of the project's instances including gigabytes, instances, floating IPs, volumes, and cores.

Nova Role
nova-manage role add <username> <rolename> <(optional) projectname>
Add a user to either a global or project-based role with the indicated <rolename> assigned to the named user. Role names can be one of
the following five roles: cloudadmin, itsec, sysadmin, netadmin, developer. If you add the project name as the last argument then the
role is assigned just for that project, otherwise the user is assigned the named role for all projects.

o flavorid (unique integer)
o swap space (expressed in megabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
o RXTX quotas (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
o RXTX cap (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)
