       nova-manage flavor create <name> <memory> <vCPU> <local_storage> <flavorID> <(optional) swap> <(optional)
       RXTX Quota> <(optional) RXTX Cap>

          creates a flavor with the following positional arguments:

                 • memory (expressed in megabytes)

                 • vcpu(s) (integer)

                 • local storage (expressed in gigabytes)

                 • flavorid (unique integer)

                 • swap space (expressed in megabytes, defaults to zero, optional)

                 • RXTX quotas (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)

                 • RXTX cap (expressed in gigabytes, defaults to zero, optional)

       nova-manage flavor delete <name>
          Delete the flavor with the name <name>. This marks the flavor as  inactive  and  cannot  be  launched.
