为什么80%的码农都做不了架构师？>>>

NovaException: Upgrade DB using Essex release first.

错误原因：

nova.conf文件中[api_database]节选下已经存在一个sqlite的默认db connection覆盖了前面的设置，注释掉就可以了。

[api_database]
connection = mysql+pymysql://nova:NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova_api
#
# The *Nova API Database* is a separate database which is used for information
# which is used across *cells*. This database is mandatory since the Mitaka
# release (13.0.0).

#
# From nova.conf
#

# The SQLAlchemy connection string to use to connect to the database. (string
# value)
#connection=sqlite:var/lib/nova/nova.sqlite
