Hypervisor Configuration Basics
The node where the nova-compute service is installed and
operates on the same node that runs all of the virtual machines. This is
referred to as the compute node in this guide.
By default, the selected hypervisor is KVM. To change to another
hypervisor, change the virt_type option in the
[libvirt] section of nova.conf and restart the
nova-compute service.
Specific options for particular hypervisors can be found in the following sections.
