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.

update it.
