I have this problem after I independently bring up the VM to modify it outside of Jenkins using the vsphere client. Jenkins does not recover from this scenario nicely. I have to launch slave agent manually on the node page after this and then everything works properly.

Now the VM get cloned and appear in vshpere, but it keep offline state.
