running VM manually
I have installed openstack using devstack.I'm using multinode setup with one controller node and one compute node.I'm able to launch VM from openstack dashboard onto the controller node. At the controller node when i do ps -ef | grep nova,the following appears..
ps -ef | grep nova

In general :-
Runs on compute node. Did start openstack-nova-compute service on Controller ?
Yes, I see you did. What is your problem ?
Actually i want to run another instance with some specific mac address using the above command on the controller node which i'm not able to do. Everytime i type the above command with changed parameters,I'm getting
chardev: opening backend "file" failed: No such file or directory
How you launch instance ? How you use glance image, ssh keypair, does instance get a private IP at startup ?
