[Openstack] Nova is considering Xen Domain-0 as instance

filter it out in nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py
list_instances()

something like:

def list_instances(self):
    return [self._conn.lookupByID(x).name()
            for x in self._conn.listDomainsID()
            if x.startswith('instance')]

It should really be matching against FLAGS.instance_name_template, but that should get you going for a start.

This seems pretty simple, just tell nova-compute to ignore any instance named Domain-0 (actually it could ignore any instance not named 'instance-XXXXXXXX'). As there is a libvirt type to connect to xen, it is in openstack interest to fix this. As I did make it work with a flawed old libvirt in Ubuntu 10.04, this seems close to working.

Even some kind of advice of where I could put this ignore code would help and I could contribute with the project with the resulting code.

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 configuration that works fine, I've found out that in this configuration "virsh list" doesn't show Domain-0, so that may be the problem. But for libvirt showing the Domain-0 vm seems like the correct behaviour, nova-compute is the one that should ignore it.
