Comment 1 for bug 1270726

I analyzed this problem and looks to me compute/manager.py and virt/*.py highly depends on the instance['name']
which means it's not easy to transfer instance_name from api to compute node unless we not only transfer uuid of the instance but also transfer the instance name , it's complicated and not worthy

Also, if we think there are multiple nova-api service with different instance_name_template, it also can lead to problem and modification on compute layer won't help

Is there a way to do offline check to help admin on this? would think a healthy checker will be much helpful
