<font size="-1">Hey guys,<br>
<br>
I have monitoring turned down to a minute so that I don't have
much latency on my management while we're doing testing. As a
result, when I do a shutdown on a vm sometimes the shutdown isn't
complete before the next monitoring update. What ends up
happening is that the state of the machine goes from running to
shutdown, then a bit later to running again. Finally, when the
guest shutdown actually complete, the state goes to unknow because
One doesn't know why the machine disappeared.<br>
<br>
It would be better if this race condition were handled more
elegantly and One could tolerate that the machine took a while to
shutdown. As is a manual clean-up has to happen. I have also
confirmed that my one minute monitor cycle only makes the problem
more likely. If, by coincidence, someone asks One to shutdown a
vm slightly before the monitor thread kicks off, this issue shows
up. So it seems any machine that is shutdown where timeToShutdown
> timeUntilMonitorRefresh will end up in an unknown state.<br>
