Title:
  Verify operation in nova

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:

  This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the
  following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit.
  Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:

  - [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way:


  When say to run the command:
  nova-status upgrade check

  it fails unless I run it as a root. But the documentation doesn't say it.
  I don't know if I make a mistake during the install, or if I should run it as a root.

  
  When run as unprivileged user the output is:

  $ nova-status upgrade check
  Error:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/cmd/status.py", line 459, in main

  When run as root the output is:
