nova.sh deletes the db and terminates instances in between runs. It is supposed to delete volumes as well, but i just realized it wasn't. I updated it to delete volumes too.
You can make it keep the db between runs if you want by commenting out these lines:
    if [ "$USE_MYSQL" == 1 ]; then
        mysql -p$MYSQL_PASS -e 'DROP DATABASE nova;'
        mysql -p$MYSQL_PASS -e 'CREATE DATABASE nova;'
    else
        rm $NOVA_DIR/nova.sqlite
    fi
I personally find it valuable to have a clean system each time but feel free.
