thx George, yes I tried that, but it will replace the ID of an existing flavor, with a uuid. I didn't want to introduce this change as it may potentially affect something else, so I went ahead and updated nova.instance_types, however I agree this ain't ideal. I'm not sure the flavor set/update operation doesn't accept updating swap, or other parameters. I assume it may in the worst case cause inconsistencies.. thx will
