Github user abhinandanprateek commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/211#issuecomment-98093700 Daan, Yes, I agree. We can define a proper state and introduce it. I guess there is some tribal knowledge involved here that Koushik and myself were trying to convey. The HA related timeouts are very delicately balanced. On further looking at the code around the commit, my guess is it actually does not make difference to code-flow. But we should replace the "null" with say a new state like "UNKNOWN" and make sure that it is handled in the call hierarchy.
