Configuration File Options -------------------------- +After nova-powervm has been installed the user must enable PowerVM as the +compute driver. To do so, set the ``compute_driver`` value in the ``nova.conf`` +file to ``compute_driver = powervm.driver.PowerVMDriver``. + The standard nova configuration options are supported. In particular, to use PowerVM SR-IOV vNIC for networking, the ``pci_passthrough_whitelist`` option must be set. See the `networking-powervm usage devref`_ for details.
