Currently all nova database sections are configured for all nova services (inherited from nova-base). I assume this an historical relic from the days when nova compute accessed the db directly. This is long deprecated and removed. Code has already merged in nova that assumes the api db is not configured on computes. Devstack [1] and kolla-ansible[2] have already hit this. From investigation by the nova devs it appears that tripleo was just fortunate not to hit the same issue. Setting upgrade level 'auto' would have triggered it.
