I have time sync'ed the control and compute node.  Still see the "XXX".  I
copied the ntp.conf file from the control-node and compute-node onto paste
bin - http://pastebin.com/HsnzcRHr.

There are a few things that I find really confusing:

1. Why does "nova-manage service-list" display the service "nova-compute"
(be with status XXX) on compute-node when it is not even running on
compute-node.  Is it because the data being displayed is stale, possibly
fetched from the db?

root at bodega:~# nova-manage  service list    <===  control-node
Binary		Host 	Zone             Status     State Updated_At
nova-network 	bodega 	nova             enabled    :-)   2012-11-16 18:23:00
nova-scheduler 	bodega 	nova             enabled    :-)   2012-11-16
18:23:00
nova-compute 	sonoma 	nova             enabled    XXX   2012-11-15
23:46:46  <===
nova-cert 	bodega 	nova enabled    :-)   2012-11-16 18:22:59

enabled    :-)   2012-11-16 18:22:59

root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# ps aux | grep nova      <=== compute-node

root      5013  0.0  0.0   9384   924 pts/0    S+   10:54   0:00 grep
--color=auto nova
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# service  nova-compute status
nova-compute stop/waiting
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#



2. The other thing that is totally confusing me is why I cannot start
nova-compute on the compute-node, and I am not getting any log messages in
any of the log files on the control-node or compute node.  Can you please
help.

root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# ls -l /var/log/nova/*log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute statu
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service nova-compute statu

The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but statu is not supported for Upstart jobs.
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute status
nova-compute stop/waiting
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute start
nova-compute start/running, process 5064
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute status
nova-compute stop/waiting
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova# ls -l /var/log/nova/*log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log
root at sonoma:/var/log/nova#


(Don't worry about the log file being 0 bytes, as they just rolled over
this am.)

Can you please help me understand what is going on.  Would appreciate any
help / pointers.  I copied the nova.conf file from the control and compute
node onto the pastebin site.

Thank you,
Ahmed.
