This isn't a bug, the command is doing what it was designed to do. If you don't specify transport_url or database_connection via the CLI options, the values are pulled from the config file (via either the --config-file option or the implied /etc/nova/nova.conf) and if you run it more than once it will fail with the conflict message you got. The reason transport_url and db connection are options and pulled from config by default is so that people don't have to hard-code URLs with credentials in them into scripts.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772371 Title: The parameters "transport-url" and "database_connection" are to be treated positional. Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: While creating a new cell_v2 using command "nova-manage cell_v2 create_cell", if no parameter ie. "transport-url" and "database_connection" are given then the values of "transport-url" and "database_connection" of default cell are picked from nova.conf which are already mapped to the default cell and it result into error for duplicate combination of "transport_url" and "database_connection". Command Output: [root@openstackq ~(keystone_admin)]# nova-manage cell_v2 create_cell /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_db/sqlalchemy/enginefacade.py:332: NotSupportedWarning: Configuration option(s) ['use_tpool'] not supported exception.NotSupportedWarning The specified transport_url and/or database_connection combination already exists for another cell with uuid 75c8bcda-6a34-468f-ba85-b3c7b977fd4b. Both the arguments must be positional. Code changes required and both the parameters "transport-url" and "database_connection" are to be treated positional. As a workaround, user is providing both the arguments along with command.
