We use both the documentation and an Ask site for supporting users. Here's
the documentation that should help you:

http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/section_compute-troubleshooting.html

Also, looking on previously asked questions on http://ask.openstack.org,
there's a pointer to this blog entry:
http://virtual2privatecloud.com/?p=312

Hope that helps.
