Changing the nova user ID on the NetBackup for OpenStack Nodes

In RHOSP, "nova" user ID on nova-compute docker container is set to "42436". The "nova" user ID on the NetBackup for OpenStack nodes need to be set the same. Do the following steps on all NetBackup for OpenStack nodes:

  1. Execute the script.

  2. Verify that nova user and group ID has changed to 42436.

## Execute the shell script to change 'nova' user and group id to '42436'
$ ./home/stack/nova_userid.sh

## Ignore any errors and verify that 'nova' user and group id has 
changed to '42436'
$ id nova
   uid=42436(nova) gid=42436(nova) groups=42436(nova),990(libvirt),36(kvm)
