Thanks a lot, this very helpful for me.

This also means that removing a nova-compute service will leave instances managed by that service orphaned, and as such most instance actions will not work until a nova-compute service with the same hostname is brought (back) online.

This may result in duplicate compute_node entries for ironic nodes while the nova-compute service pool is re-balancing. However, because any nova-compute service running the ironic virt driver can manage any ironic node, if a build request goes to the compute service not currently managing the node the build request is for, it will still succeed.?

Essentially if you have a nova compute host fail but want to be able to continue managing instances deployed by it, you?ll have to build another nova-compute host with the same hostname (or CONF.host setting) in order to do anything beyond deleting it.
