Github user marcaurele commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1640 @koushik-das > If the MS is not able to determine the state of the VM, it tries fencing off the VM (using the various fencers available). If VM cannot be fenced off successfully, the state of the VM is left unchanged. Apparently I found a way where the VMs are successfully fenced off even though they should not. What is the reason to try fencing off VMs when the MS is not able to determine its state? I cannot see a good reason so far but you seem to think there is at least one. Can you explain it? @jburwell It does not cover my case exactly as it's a timing issue. I'll keep a note to find a way to create a scenario.
