how do I disable a nova compute node?
So I have multiple nova compute nodes and for debugging reasons I want to disable them all except one. I thought i could do this with the
nova-manage service disable --host=<node name> --service=nova-compute
nova-manage service disable --host=<node name> --service=nova-network
When I tried that it didn't work. I still have VM's spinning up on nodes that were disabled. As you can see here I went as far as disabling them all just to make a point.
I also noticed if I stopped nova-compute and nova-network on my nodes nova would still try. It just reports the status ad BUILD.
Now I did see this question here but is that still the solution? https://answers.launchpad.net/nova/+question/172482
