Presumably this wouldn't help if you've only configured one compute node 
in the system so far but plan on adding more.

Also, this doesn't handle the "nova host-evacuate" case with a mix of 
local and shared storage.

If we were going to put a shared-storage entry in /etc/nova/nova.conf, 
maybe it would make sense to give it a name as well....that way you 
could indicate that a subset of machines share instance storage, and the 
scheduler could limit itself to attempting migration/evacuation to other 
compute nodes that use the same shared storage.
