[openstack-dev] [vmware][nova] Prevent HA configuration with different hostnames

Hi,
I do not think that that is a healthy solution. That effectively would
render a cluster down if the compute node goes down. That would be a real
disaster. The ugly work around is setting the host names to be the same
value.
This is something that we should discuss at the next summit and I would
hope to propose a topic to talk about.
Thanks
Gary
