I think that question is bit out of openstack domain and more in 'nfs  
clusterization'.  

I think you should try to debug HA settings without kvm/openstack, just  
with some IO from application (e.g. fio). I think at that level problem  
gonna be around mount type (hard/soft). After you get fio survive ha  
switch, add kvm (without openstack) and configure libvirt to force kvm  
to not allow errors of stalled NFS to guest. At that level all mess  
gonna be around timeout settings for virtio devices of qemu.
