Using "Nova Service-Force-Down

Problem

While trying to run the**nova** command for service-force-down we get the following error.

Looking at the usage of the command it tells us to use "ID" as the argument.

Usage: nova service-force-down [--unset] [id] does not specify which id to be used.

2. This IDcan be obtained using the following command.

Thefirst column in the outputof the above command will get you the id of the binary and this id should be used with the command nova service-force-down [--unset] [id] to force up or down the nova-compute service.
