According to 
https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/cells.html#first-time-setup
you can specify database connection string with map_cell0 command:

nova-manage cell_v2 map_cell0 --database_connection \
   mysql+pymysql://root:secretmysql@dbserver/nova_cell0?charset=utf8

I guess you meant "nova db with cell0 appended" and not "nova_api db with
cell0 appended" as you wrote

My use case is that I share the same percona cluster to host the databases
of multiple openstack installations. So if it is <nova-database-name>-cell0
this is fine. If instead it is hard-coded to nova-cell0,  we have a problem

Thanks again, Massimo

The whole cell thing tripped me up earlier this week.  From what I
understand it’s hard coded in the upgrade scripts to be the same as the
nova_api db with cell0 appended to the db name but there is a patch in to
change this behavior to match what the install docs say.  So it looks like
if you just put the nova_cell0 db on the same host and make the credentials
match your nova db everything will just work out.  You can double check by
looking at the cell_mapping table entries in your nova_api db.

Hi

I am reading the RDO installation guide for Ocata. In the nova section [*]
it is explained how to create the nova_cell0 database, but I can't find how
to set the relevant connection string in the nova configuration file.
Any hints ?
Thanks, Massimo

See:

nova-manage cell_v2 simple_cell_setup and nova-manage cell_v2 map_cell0 would originally default the cell0 DB name in the connection URL to be <api db name>_cell0, which for most was nova_api_cell0. That was wrong, and fixed in ocata and backported and merged to newton this week, and in the proposed newton release mentioned in that email above.

^ was if you didn't override this auto-behavior by passing the connection URL in on the command line. So that's one workaround.

In the end, what we expect is your cell0 db name to be nova_cell0 and the cell_mappings.database_connection entry in the nova_api database says the same.

Remember that cells v2 is optional in newton and required in ocata. It'd be cool to prepare in newton while it's optional but just a heads up that unless you pick up that fix you need to pass the database connection URL in on the command line when running the map_cell0 command.

The various commands are also documented here:

https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/man/nova-manage.html#nova-cells-v2

Note that not all of these are in newton.
