Is it possible to run "nova-manage project zipfile" outside the machine installed with nova-api?

It is much easier if you run these two on the same machine. That said, you should be able to run the majority of the commands from another machine if you set the flags properly (s3_host, ec2_host, etc.) The certificate creation will still fail, though. As of this moment you need to run nova-api, nova-objectstore, and nova-manage on the same machine. This should change by cactus. Most of the commands in nova-manage are replicated in adminclient.py, which can be run commands through the api (using boto, for example), so if you do your management on another machine, this is the preferred method. This is how https://launchpad.net/django-nova does management commands for example.
