OpenStack Compute Node on RHEL6

The Griddynamics RPMS provide a great way to install OpenStack on RHEL platforms.
RHEL 6 is most conducive to the install. The documentation lacks some steps to the install process which are captured here.
Instal the OpenStack yum repo

# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall openstack-repo-2011.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm


# yum --nogpgcheck install python-paste
# yum --nogpgcheck install python-paste-deploy
# yum --nogpgcheck install python-paste-script
# yum install libvirt

# yum install openstack-nova-node-compute
# service libvirtd start
# chkconfig libvirtd on

Verify that libvirt can connect to the hypervisor

# virsh version
Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.7
Using library: libvir 0.8.7
Using API: QEMU 0.8.7
Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.1

Edit /etc/nova/nova.conf to point to the right glance and cluster controller nodes.
Ensure that the node can connect to the nova mysql database on the cluster controller.

# service openstack-nova-compute start

# Verify that node was registered in the mysql nova database.
