nova: List VMs of all tenants (admin user only).
$ nova list --all-tenants
try on your machine
The command "nova list --all-tenants" is used in OpenStack, specifically for the Nova service, to display a list of all instances across all tenants (projects/organizations) in the OpenStack cloud environment.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "nova list": This is the basic command to list instances in Nova.
- "--all-tenants": This is an optional flag that is added to the command to specify that the list should include instances from all tenants.
By default, the "nova list" command only shows instances belonging to the current tenant or project that you are authenticated with. However, by adding the "--all-tenants" flag, instances from all tenants are included in the output.
This command can be useful for administrators or users with appropriate permissions to have a comprehensive view of all instances across different projects within the OpenStack environment.
