Hi,

This mail is regarding the required model change in nova. Please fine more 
details below:

As we knew, Nova db has the table "compute_nodes" for modelling the hypervisors 
and its using the "hypervisor_hostname" field to represent the hypervisor name.
This value is having significant value in os-hypervisor extension api which is 
using this field to uniquely identify the hypervisor.

Consider the case where a given environment is having more than one hypervisors 
(KVM, EXS, Xen, etc)  with same hostname and os-hypervisor and thereby Horizon 
Hypervisor panel and nova hypervisors-servers command will fail.
There is a defect (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1329261)  already filed 
on VMware VC driver to address this issue to make sure that, a unique value is 
generated for the VC driver's hypervisor.  But its good to fix at the model 
level as well by  making "hypervisor_hostname" field as unique always. And a 
bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1329299 is filed for the same.

Before fixing this bug, I would like to get the opinion from the community. 
Could you please help here !

Regards
Kanagaraj M
