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: http://paste.openstack.org/show/37222/

Now I did see this question here but is that still the solution? https://answers.launchpad.net/nova/+q...
