Title:
  nova service-list shows nova-compute as down and is required to be
  restarted frequently in order to provision new vms

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Nova compute services in Openstack Havana go down frequently as listed
  by "nova service-list" and requires to be restarted very frequently,
  multiple times every day. All the compute nodes have the ntp times in
  sync.

  When a node shows down, it is not able to use those compute nodes for
  launching new VMs and we quickly run out of compute resources. Hence
  our workaround is to restart the Compute nodes on those servers
  hourly.

  In the nova-compute node I've found the following error and they did match with the "Updated_at" field from nova service-list.
  2014-06-07 00:21:15.690 511340 ERROR nova.servicegroup.drivers.db [-] model server went away

  It looks like the ones that are shown as down haven't been able to update the database with the latest status and they did match with the Traceback seen above (2014-06-07 00:21:15.690) on at least two compute nodes that I have seen.
