Bug description:
  Recently we had a customer case where attempts to add new ironic nodes
  to an existing undercloud resulted in half of the nodes failing to be
  detected and added to nova. Ironic API returned all of the newly added
  nodes when called by the driver, but half of the nodes were not
  returned to the compute manager by the driver.

  There was only one nova-compute service managing all of the ironic
  nodes of the all-in-one typical undercloud deployment.

  After days of investigation and examination of a database dump from
  the customer, we noticed that at some point the customer had changed
  the hostname of the machine from something containing uppercase
  letters to the same name but all lowercase. The nova-compute service
  record had the mixed case name and the CONF.host
  (socket.gethostname()) had the lowercase name.

  The hash ring logic adds all of the nova-compute service hostnames
  plus CONF.host to hash ring, then the ironic driver reports only the
  nodes it owns by retrieving a service hostname from the ring based on
  a hash of each ironic node UUID.

  Because of the machine hostname change, the hash ring contained, for
  example: {'MachineHostName', 'machinehostname'} when it should have
  contained only one hostname. And because the hash ring contained two
  hostnames, the driver was able to retrieve only half of the nodes as
  nodes that it owned. So half of the new nodes were excluded and not
  added as new compute nodes.

  I propose adding some logging to the driver related to the hash ring
  to help with debugging in the future.
