Hey all,

Is there a method for changing where Nova looks for its instances? When setting 
up my Openstack system I don't recall there being a choice as to where 
instances would be stored. As it happens, they're in /var/lib/nova/instances. 
My server is set up such that /home is a 6TB LVM volume, whereas /var/lib lives 
on the relatively tiny root disk.

I would like to move all instances into /home/storage/nova/instances. Of 
course, I would shut down all instances and copy everything to the new 
location. But how do I convince Nova that things have changed? Also, the 
various libvirt.xml files have references to /var/lib/nova/instances. Is it a 
manual process to change these references? Or is there some magical migration 
command that would fix everything for me? :)

Thanks,
Daniel
