Hi Trinath, It's not clear whether the tilera board you're referring to is one of the PCI versions or a stand-alone board (is it in Essex-1?). We've never setup/tested anything other than the TILEmpower stand-alone board with our bare-metal provisioning service. That said, in order to make your nova-compute on Essex-2, you need to configure nova.conf as I described earlier: set the connection_type=baremetal, set the baremetal_driver=tilera, and set your path to tile-monitor appropriately. That's what makes it a proxy node, which is otherwise run as a regular nova-compute.
