[Openstack-operators] [nova] how to recover instances with different hypervisor-id on the same compute node

Hi All,

Due to a hostname change, we ended up having a new hypervisor-id for one of
our compute nodes. It was already running two instances and then, we didn't
catch the updated hypervisor-id. This ended up with new instances spawning
up with new hypervisor-id.

Now, the instances with older hypervisor-id are not seen in "virsh list",
rebooting those instances keep them rebooting.

[root (admin)]# nova hypervisor-servers compute-90

[root at compute-90]# virsh list
 Id    Name                           State
----------------------------------------------------
 112   instance-00001270              running
 207   instance-000018de              running
 178   instance-000016e0              running
 189   instance-000017e4              running
 325   instance-000018f8              running
 336   instance-000018fa              running

Instances not visible: instance-00000712 and instance-00000b74

Is there a way to recover from this step? I can delete the old
services(nova service-delete <id>), but I am confused whether it will lead
to loss of already running instances with old hypervisor-id? Is there a way
I can update the state of those instances to use hypervisor-id as 92
instead of 40? Kindly do let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks.
