 ## Post Deployment Configuration of XOS and ONOS
 
-Currently, after the compute nodes are provisioned, some manual configuration is required of the ONOS
-services in XOS.  It is expected that this process will be automated in the future, but for the time
-being the following steps must be carried out.
+The compute node provisioning process described above (under [Booting Compute Nodes](#booting-compute-nodes))
+will install the servers as OpenStack compute nodes.  You should be able to see them on the CORD head node
+by running the following commands:
+```
+source ~/admin-openrc.sh
+nova hypervisor-list
+```
+
+You will see output like the following (showing each of the nodes you have provisioned):
+
+```
++----+-------------------------+
+| ID | Hypervisor hostname     |
++----+-------------------------+
+| 1  | nova-compute-1.cord.lab |
++----+-------------------------+
+```
+
+However, after the compute nodes are provisioned, currently some additional manual configuration is required to set up the ONOS
+services in XOS.  We intend to automate this process in the future, but for the time being the following steps must be carried out.
+
+To prepare to run these steps, on the CORD head node, login to the XOS VM and change to the `service-profiles/cord-pod` directory:
+
+```
+ssh ubuntu@xos
+cd service-profiles/cord-pod
+```
+
+All of the steps listed below are run in this directory.
