Comment 1 for bug 1464233

nova-manage is an auxiliary tool for managing of Nova deployments. Often, it does not use public Nova API, but works directly with a DB instead, which means it can't be used on the compute nodes (as conceptually those don't have direct access to DB, at least from Nova point of view).

Please use `nova service-list` instead.

Still, this can be a valid issue in a sense, that we should not ship nova-manage binary on computes, if it's not usable.
