Okay, we're gradually getting there... oh, and now this diagram's
beginning to make sense:
http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/figures/9/a/common/figures/Neutron-PhysNet-Diagram.png
We probably can't safely refer to the value of my_ip as just the "node
IP address". And eliminating the word "private" would also lose the
only hint that it has to be in an RFC1918-style private address range.
But how about:
Template: nova/my-ip
Type: string
_Description: IP address on Nova management network:
Please enter the IP address for this physical node on the private
network being used for OpenStack Compute management.
.
This value will be stored in the my_ip directive of nova.conf.
