Title:
  VMware VCDriver: A node crash, vSphere HA and badly timed
  _sync_power_states() will shut instances down

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Expired

Bug description:
  The release: Icehouse, however the code in juno seems to same

  When a VMware node crashes, the instances will be restarted on a new
  node because of vSphere HA.

  If _sync_power_states() is triggered just after node crash, the vms are down and Nova will update the database and print
  "Instance shutdown by itself. Calling the stop API."

  On next _sync_power_states() run, Nova will notice that power state is changed and will shut the instances down and print
  "Instance is not stopped. Calling the stop API.". This happens because vSphere HA has started instances meanwhile.

  To my understanding to fix this we need either
  1. change the logic (I don't have ideas unfortunately) or
  2. add a config option that states if we force stop or not when an instance is stopped from the database point of view.
