Github user koushik-das commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1640 @marcaurele Thats correct. In case of shared/remote storage the same disk is used to spawn a VM on another host once the VM is successfully fenced. If the fencer has successfully fenced off a VM, it is assumed that the original VM is correctly stopped. Now if you are saying that the original VM continues to run then that means that the specific fencer has bugs and needs fixing. Note that there are different types of fencer available in cloudstack based on hypervisor types. @abhinandanprateek In the scenario you mentioned vmsync won't be able to mark VM as stopped as the ping command is no longer running as the host is in alert/down state.
